James Oliver Vaughan (born 14 July 1988) is an English footballer who plays for Birmingham City, on loan from fellow Football League Championship club Huddersfield Town, as a striker. He has represented England at U17, U19 and under 21 level, but has since expressed a desire to represent Jamaica at international level. He is the Premier League's youngest goalscorer.[1]

Vaughan, who was born in Birmingham, signed as a professional footballer with Everton. He played for the club between 2005 and 2011, including loan spells at Derby County, Leicester City and Crystal Palace, before signing for Norwich in May 2011. He then had a loan spell at Huddersfield Town for the majority of the 2012–13 season, before signing permanent terms on 3 July 2013.

Early life

Born in Birmingham, Vaughan went to school at Hill West primary school and The Arthur Terry School in Four Oaks. He and was spotted by Everton's talent scouts at nine years of age while playing in his primary school's football team[2] and joined the club's academy. He attended Chesterfield High School in Liverpool while at the academy. His father, property developer Dorrington Vaughan, played rugby union for Preston Grasshoppers.[3]

Vaughan was also a talented young sprinter, running the 100 metres in 11.5 seconds as a 13-year-old, the third fastest time for his age in Britain.[3]

Playing career

Everton

Vaughan joined Everton's Youth Academy and was voted by his fellow team-mates as the Under-16s player of the season for 2003–04. He scored a number of goals for the reserve team during the 2004–05 season, making his full debut for the club in the same season. His 73rd-minute substitute appearance for the first team against Crystal Palace on his debut on 10 April 2005 overtook James Milner as the Premier League's youngest scorer at 16 years and 271 days[3] as well as Wayne Rooney as Everton's youngest top flight goal scorer.[2][4]

Vaughan signed his first professional contract in the summer of 2005, agreeing to a two-year contract. Early in the 2005–06 campaign, he sustained a knee ligament injury whilst on international duty with England Under-18s.[4] A series of complications sidelined him for the remainder of the campaign and he did not have the chance to establish himself as a regular in the senior squad. He scored his second league goal in the 93rd minute of a 2–0 win over West Ham United. Vaughan suffered a severed foot artery in a match with Bolton.[3][5]

Vaughan played a total of 60 times for Everton, making only 8 league starts, and scored 9 goals.[6] His career at the club was blighted by a number of injuries which limited his opportunities to establish himself in the first team.[4][7][8]

Crystal Palace (loan)

On 8 September 2010, Vaughan joined Crystal Palace, the club against which he had become the Premier League's youngest goal-scorer, on a three-month loan deal.[13] At the end of the loan spell he returned to Everton but, in January 2011, rejoined Palace until the end of the season.[14] Vaughan made 30 appearances for Palace, scoring 9 times.[15]

Norwich City

On 27 May 2011, Vaughan signed for newly promoted Premier League club Norwich City on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[8][16] Vaughan made his debut for the club against West Bromwich Albion on 11 September, and made a just five league appearances in an injury-hit first season.[17][18]

Huddersfield Town

On 3 July 2013, Vaughan signed a three-year deal with Huddersfield for an undisclosed fee.[23] He made his second debut for the club in the 1–0 defeat by Nottingham Forest on 3 August. After scoring two goals in the League Cup win over Bradford City on 6 August, he scored his first league goal on his return in the 1–1 draw with Queens Park Rangers on 10 August. On 24 August, he scored a hat-trick in a 5–1 win against A.F.C. Bournemouth.[24][25]

Birmingham City (loan)

Vaughan joined fellow Championship club Birmingham City on 26 November 2015, on loan until 2 January 2016.[26] He made his debut as a second-half substitute in the next game, a 2–1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion,[27] and made six appearances in total without scoring.[6] The loan was then extended until the end of the season, when his contract with Huddersfield expires, at which point he has agreed to sign for Birmingham on a one-year permanent contract with an option for a further season.[28]

International career

Vaughan was called up to the England under-19 squad, scoring the winning goal after coming on as a second-half substitute against Switzerland. At the end of the 2006–07 season, Vaughan was named in Stuart Pearce's 23-man squad for the England U21s' European Championship campaign. His first appearance for the side came as a substitute in the 2–2 draw with Italy U21 on 14 June 2007. Vaughan went on to make four appearances for the U21s between 2007 and 2011 with his record standing at one win, two draws and a loss, his final appearance for the U21s came in February 2011 against the same team he made his début, Italy U21s.[29][citation needed]

In October 2012, Vaughan tweeted that he wanted to represent Jamaica at international level.[30]
