Justin Jackson (born December 10, 1974 in Nottingham, England) is a professional footballer, currently playing for Southern League Premier Division side Brackley Town, where he plays as a striker.^[1]. He joined Brackley Town in July 2007.

Earlier in 2007, Jackson was expected to join Tamworth however was unable to gain international clearance from The Football Federation of Australia, who stated that they were not prepared to change his status from amateur to professional due to a transfer window imposed by FIFA. He had last played as an amateur for Casey Comets SC in Australia. Jackson continued to train with Tamworth in an attempt to secure a playing contract for the next season^[2].

Earlier in his career, Jackson, enjoyed spells with Halifax Town and Morecambe before signing for Rushden & Diamonds for £180,000. Jackson was the conference top scorer with 29 league goals in 99/00 in his only season at Morecambe.

After clinching promotion to Division Three he soon moved on to Doncaster Rovers for £150,000 but it ended with the chairman paying up his contract and in Oct 03 he joined Accrington Stanley. Six weeks later his contract was cancelled when it was reported he failed to turn up for training.

^[3]He then moved to Chester City on trial but was taken off during his trial game.

Then in November 2004 Justin signed for Nationwide North club Stafford Rangers but didn't even stay long enough to get match fit.

In the 2006-07 Jackson was nominated for the non-league goal of the year, though he didn't make the top three.
