James Vaughan Life

James Oliver Vaughan (born 14 July 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays for Bradford City, England's second-tier squad, in addition to captains. Vaughan, a Birmingham native, has signed his first professional deal with Everton.

He played for Derby County, Leicester City, and Crystal Palace between 2005 and 2011, and before signing for Norwich in May 2011.

He remained on loan at Huddersfield Town for the majority of the 2012-2013 season before signing permanent terms on July 3, 2013.

He spent two-and-a-half years with Huddersfield before joining Birmingham City on loan.

At the end of the 2015–16 season, the move was permanent, but it was brief, as he joined Bury in August 2016.

Vaughan appeared in 40 games and scoring 24 times during his brief career at Bury.

He made the move to Sunderland in July 2017, appearing 27 times before moving to Wigan Athletic in January 2018.

In 2018,-19, he was on loan at Portsmouth. He has served in England under the age of 17, 19, under-19, and under-21, but he has since expressed a desire to represent Jamaica at international level.

In 2005, he became the Premier League's youngest-ever goalscorer, and as of 2019, he holds the record.

Early life

Vaughan, a boy from Birmingham, West Midlands, went to Hill West primary school and The Arthur Terry School in Four Oaks. He was noticed by Everton's talent scouts at nine years old while playing in his primary school's football team and joining the club's academy. When at the academy, he attended Chesterfield High School in Liverpool. Dorrington Vaughan, his father, a land developer, played rugby for Preston Grasshoppers.

Vaughan was also a natural young sprinter, running the 100 meters in 11.5 seconds as a 13-year-old, the third-fastest time for his age in the United Kingdom.

James Vaughan Career

Club career

Vaughan joined Everton's Youth Academy and was named as the Under-16s player of the season by his peers in 2003–04. He scored a number of goals for the reserve team in the 2004–05 season, marking his full debut for the club in the same season. On his debut with the first team against Crystal Palace on his first appearance on April 10, 2005, he defeated James Milner as the Premier League's youngest goal scorer at 16 years and 271 days as well as Wayne Rooney as Everton's youngest top flight goal scorer.

In 2005, Vaughan signed his first professional role and agreed to a two-year deal. When he was on international service with England Under-18s earlier in the 2005–06 season, he sustained a knee ligament injury. He was sidelined for the remainder of the season because of a string of challenges, but he did not have the opportunity to distinguish himself as a regular in the senior team. In the 93rd minute of a 2–0 victory over West Ham United, he scored his second league goal. In a match with Bolton, Vaughan sustained a fractured foot artery.

Vaughan played a total of 60 times for Everton, only 8 in the league, and scored 9 goals. A string of injuries dogged his potential to return to the club, limiting his opportunities to make his first team debut.

Vaughan joined Derby County in September 2009 on a three-month loan.

Vaughan joined Leicester City on a one-month loan agreement, but the option to continue the season was later added. After coming on as a replacement against Watford, he scored his first goal for Leicester.

On September 8, 2010, Vaughan joined Crystal Palace, the club against whom he had been the Premier League's youngest goal scorer, on a three-month loan contract. He returned to Everton at the end of the loan term, but he returned to Palace in January 2011 before the season's end. Vaughan made 30 appearances for Palace, scoring 9 times.

Vaughan signed for Norwich City, a newly promoted Premier League club, on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee on May 27. Vaughan made his West Bromwich Albion debut on September 11th and made just five league appearances in a tough first season.

Vaughan joined Huddersfield Town, a newly promoted Football League Championship team, on a season-long loan deal on August 24, 2012. In a 2–0 home victory over Burnley on August 26, the Terriers' first league victory of the season, Vaughan made his debut for the Terriers. Vaughan scored his first goal as a Hudderfield Town player in a 2–2 draw away from Ipswich Town on September 1st, and he later had a penalty saved.

On July 3, 2013, Vaughan agreed to a three-year contract with Huddersfield for an undisclosed fee. In the 1–0 loss to Nottingham Forest on August 3rd, he made his second appearance for the club. He scored two goals in the League Cup's victory over Bradford City on August 6th, scoring his first league goal on his return to Queens Park Rangers on August 10th. In a 5–1 victory over AFC Bournemouth on August 24, he scored a hat-trick.

On November 26, 2015, Vaughan joined Birmingham City, a Championship club, and was on loan until January 2nd, 2016. In the next game, a 2–1 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion, he made his debut as a second-half replacement, and he made six appearances in total without scoring. The loan was then extended until the end of the season, when his deal with Huddersfield came to an end, but at that point, it would be converted to a one-year permanent deal with an option for a fresh season. He missed a penalty in Birmingham's FA Cup loss to Bournemouth that would have given his team a lead, but he ended the season with no goals from 16 appearances, the bulk of which were as a substitute. He was strongly linked with a transfer to Rangers at the end of the season, but no such move was made. He had been dissatisfied with his first-team participation in the second half of the 2015–16 season, and as the season went, his only appearance in the League Cup loss to Oxford United was a start, he decided to leave.

Vaughan left Birmingham by mutual consent on August 24, 2016. Bury of League One has been a member for two years. With Bury's second goal as they came back from 3–0 down to draw a draw, he made his scoring debut three days later. Vaughan played 24 goals on the 2016–17 season, earning him a spot in the League One Team of the Year and making a major contribution to Bury barely avoiding relegation on the last day of the season.

Vaughan joined Sunderland for an undisclosed fee, reuniting him with former Huddersfield manager Simon Grayson. In a 1–1 draw at Hull City on September 16, 2017, he scored his first goal for Sunderland.

Vaughan signed for Wigan Athletic on an 18-month deal for an undisclosed fee, returning to League One after only scoring twice in 27 appearances for Sunderland.

Vaughan joined Portsmouth on loan until the end of the season on January 31, 2019. In Portsmouth's play-off semi-final loss to Sunderland, he made ten league appearances without scoring and was an unemployed substitute as Portsmouth defeated the same opponents to win the 2018–19 EFL Trophy.

Following his release by Wigan on a three-year deal, Vaughan will join Bradford City on July 1, 2019. He had been appointed Bradford City's new club captain ahead of the new season.

Vaughan joined Tranmere Rovers in League One on January 29th, 2020, and the remainder of the season will be on loan.

After parent club Bradford City agreed a joint decision to terminate the remainder of Vaughan's deal, the arrangement was made permanent in August 2020.

Vaughan resigned from professional football on May 27th, 2021.

International career

After coming on as a second-half replacement against Switzerland, Vaughan was called up to the England under-19 squad, scoring the winning goal. Vaughan was selected in Stuart Pearce's 23-man squad for England's European Championship campaign in 2006. In the 2–2 draw with Italy U21s on June 14, 2007, he made his first appearance for the team as a replacement. Vaughan made four appearances for the U21s between 2007 and 2011, with his best showings of one win, two draws, and a loss. In February 2011, he made his last appearance for the U21s, also against Italy.

Vaughan tweeted in October 2012 that he wanted to represent Jamaica at the international level.
