John McCombe is a professional footballer currently playing for Huddersfield Town in Coca-Cola League One.
He joined Huddersfield as a trainee, making his league debut on May 3, 2003 as a late substitute for Jon Stead in the 1-1 draw at home to Oldham Athletic. He then had to wait until September 2004 for his next first team appearance.
He has found it hard establishing himself with Nathan Clarke, David Mirfin, Martin McIntosh and Tom Clarke in front of him in terms of getting a regular first team place in the centre of Huddersfield's defence.
McCombe's only appearances 2005-06 were against Blackburn Rovers in the Carling Cup, where he only played because of injuries and suspensions, against Boston United in the LDV Vans Trophy, when manager Peter Jackson rested all his first-team players and on the last game of the season against Swindon Town. In between he spent February on loan at Torquay United, but didn't appear in the first team for John Cornforth's struggling side.
His older brother Jamie plays for fellow League One side Bristol City.
