James Alan Kenneth Caton (born 4 January 1994) is an English footballer who plays for Championship club Blackpool, as a winger.

Early life and career

Caton was born in Widnes,[3] where he attended Wade Deacon High School. As well as football, he played rugby league at school, and was a member of his Year 7 team that reached the Champion Schools final at Twickenham, where he scored a full length try in the win in 2005.[4] Caton played football for boys' team Widnes Wolves[citation needed] before joining Bolton Wanderers as a nine-year-old schoolboy. He turned professional with Bolton in 2010,[5] but was released in the summer of 2012. After a trial with Derby County,[6][7] Caton scored against Everton in Keith Southern's testimonial match as part of a successful trial with Blackpool.[8]

Blackpool

Caton signed a two-year contract with Football League Championship club Blackpool, with the option of a third year, in August 2012.[9] After only being named twice on the bench in his first year, against Cardiff City and Watford,[10] his senior debut came a year later, on 31 August 2013 in a 1–0 win against Watford as a late substitute for Nathan Delfouneso.[11][12]

Loan to Accrington Stanley

On 3 October 2013, Caton joined League Two side Accrington Stanley on a month’s loan, however this was cut short due to injury which led to Caton returning to Blackpool.[13]
