Jason Euell

Wimbledon

Born in Lambeth, London, Euell rose through the ranks at the Wimbledon youth academy. He made his senior debut in the 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup, as a substitute for Grant Payne on matchday one, against Bursaspor. After scoring on his league debut in October 1995 against Southampton as an 18-year-old, he went on to make further a further eight Premier League appearances, and scored one more goal, in the 1995–96 season. The following season he made a total of eight appearances, scoring two goals. In 1997–98 he began playing more regularly, making a total of 23 appearances, scoring eight goals, including three goals in three FA Cup games. He established himself as a regular first team player in the 1998–99 season, making a total of 43 appearances, including 33 in the league and scoring ten goals. During the 1998–99 season, he scored twice on two occasions against Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City. The following season he made a total of 45 appearances, scoring five goals. However, the Dons finished in 18th place and so were relegated to the First Division. After the club's relegation, Euell was linked with a £5 million move to Charlton Athletic but the bid was rejected by Wimbledon. Nevertheless, he spent the 2000–01 season with Wimbledon in the First Division and scored 19 goals in 36 league games, his highest season tally of goals. Along the way Euell scored twice on four occasions this season against Sheffield Wednesday, Tranmere Rovers, Preston North End…

Charlton Athletic

In June 2011, Euell revealed that he's been working on his coaching badge. In the same year of October, Euell spoke out his opposition against a possible English application of the "Rooney Rule" to ensure that compulsory ethnic minority candidates are interviewed for managerial positions. In September 2013, Euell took charge for the club's U21 squad for the first time. He was credited for promoting youngsters to the first team, such as, Joe Gomez, Ademola Lookman, Jordan Cousins and Joe Aribo. In October 2015, Euell was appointed temporary as club's first-team coaching staff following the sacking of Guy Luzon. Following the return of Manager José Riga, Euell returned to take charge the club's U21 squad after failing to agree a deal to stay on as a first team coach in February 2016. On 2 September 2019, Euell was named as a coach for the England U20s as part of The Football Association's 2019–20 Elite Coach Placement Programme. On 1 April 2021, Euell was promoted to the role of first-team coach at Charlton Athletic. On 21 October 2021, Euell was made caretaker assistant manager at Charlton Athletic working with caretaker manager Johnnie Jackson following the departure of Nigel Adkins. On 23 June 2022, Charlton Athletic confirmed that Euell would leave his position as first-team coach at the club.

Bristol City

On 28 June 2022, Euell joined Bristol City as first team coach working alongside manager Nigel Pearson. He departed the club…

Euell was capped by the England under-20 team. He was in the squad for the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship in Malaysia. After being an unused substitute for England's opening game in Group F, a 2–1 victory over Ivory Coast on 18 June, he made his debut two days later as a 64th minute replacement for Michael Owen in a 5–0 win over United Arab Emirates. On 26 June he was an 81st-minute substitute in England's 2–1 Round of 16 defeat to Argentina. Euell qualified to play for Jamaica as his father was born there. And in July 2004, after attending a match between Jamaica and Haiti, Euell committed himself to play for the Jamaica national team, saying, "The last few weeks have really made me want to play for Jamaica. There is a World Cup to play for and it would just be amazing to be part of a tournament like that." It wasn't until October for Euell to finally be cleared to play for Jamaica after the original claim was turned down by the FIFA's players status committee. His debut came in the Reggae Boyz' final group game in their CONCACAF third stage qualification for the 2006 World Cup finals. Euell came on as a 71st-minute substitute in a 1–1 draw with the United States, a result which meant Jamaica were knocked out of the competition. On 1 June 2006 he scored in a 1–4 friendly defeat to Ghana at the Walkers Stadium, Leicester. That year he also played in a 0–6 friendly defeat to England. He went on to make a total of three appearances for Jamaica, scoring one goal, from 2004…

Euell is deaf in his right ear. Talking about this in 2006, he said, "It's never been an issue for me in terms of my football although, socially, it can occasionally have a bit of an impact. I think I tend to be a bit more aware of what's going on around me on the football pitch because I am deaf in one ear. Maybe that's led to some of my other senses becoming heightened a bit. It hasn't stopped me from doing anything at all on the football pitch. It didn't stop me developing as a youngster and I'm sure it won't stop me continuing to develop in the future." Euell is also an ambassador for the National Deaf Awareness in Sport Alliance project. In September 2010, Euell became an ambassador for Kick It Out, saying: "If people can see that there are organisations out there, like Kick It Out, that can raise awareness of what needs to be done to stop racism up and down the country it will only help eradicate it from daily life. Football is a major sport in this country, so it's a good association to try and help but communities also play an important role." Euell is also an honorary patron of the Show Racism the Red Card organisation. Euell is married to Andrea. In December 2001, Euell's baby daughter died and he missed two matches as a result.
