Jason "Jayo" Sherlock is an Irish Gaelic footballer and sales manager from Dublin. He plays his club football for Na Fianna in Glasnevin in the northern suburbs of Dublin. Sherlock was on the Na Fianna team which won the Dublin Championship in 1999, 2000 and 2001. Sherlock became an icon for Dublin fans in 1995, at the age of 18, by scoring crucial scores in the All-Ireland semi-final and final against Cork and Tyrone respectively. Fan

Sherlock also played professional soccer for UCD and for Shamrock Rovers during the 1998/99 season. During this time he also played basketball before eventually deciding in 2003 that he wanted to concentrate on one sport. He decided to play Gaelic Football only and since then he has regained his place on the Dublin team. He was educated at St Vincents CBS.

Sherlock was part of the 2005 Leinster Senior Football Championship-winning side that defeated Laois, scoring a total of two points in the final. He finished the 2005 Leinster and All-Ireland Championship with a total of one goal and six points compared to his total of one goal and one point in the 2005 National Football League. He finished the 2006 National Football League with one point due to a lack of first team football with the Dublin Senior Football side. He scored the vital goal in the 2006 Leinster Final against Offaly and his experience was a telling factor throughout the game. He has been nominated for an All Star Award for his 2006 performances in the half forward line. Sherlock is rumoured to be seeking a transfer from Na Fianna to local rivals Plunketts.[1]
