Johnston Football Club
Squad List
|
 |
Martin Langdon
25, NDT Technician
Goalkeeper
His first season at Johnston and brings stability and reliability at the back. Very organised, constantly barking orders – and definitely one of the best all round goalkeepers in Pembrokeshire. Played in the 2007 Senior Cup final for Herbrandston, who last in extra time to Monkton Swifts.

 |
Andrew John
22, Student & Next worker
Defender
A young defender who has an old head on his young shoulders. Very quick to read the game, that allows him always to be in the right position. Loves to push forward and is an excellent crosser of the ball.
|
 |
Steve Mills
20, Tesco worker
Defender
A converted midfield player who has become Johnston's most consistent player. He has missed only one match in three seasons. A powerful tackler who loves to attack wide and through the middle. Possesses a thunderous shot.
|
 |
Kristian Griffiths
26, Electrician
Defender
Former Haverfordwest County Welsh League player who has added experience and guile to Johnston's defence or midfield. A classy footballer who seldom seems rushed or under pressure.
|
 |
Chris Ormond
30, Builder
Defender
Chris is another new acquisition this season and probably the foremost centre back in the county in the last ten years. Won everything in Pembrokeshire several times over with Merlins Bridge so brings a vast amount of know how to this team and has definitely changed the mindset and fitness standards required of the squad.
|
 |
Ben Phillips
27, Mechanic
Defender
A hugely experienced centre back and powerful header of the ball. Reads the game well and commits physically, is a great tackler. His ability in the air makes him a real threat at set pieces and corners.
|
 |
Ritchie Davies
31, Bricklayer
Defender
One of the best defenders in the league. Reads the game easily and is very good at organising defences. Injury and suspension have limited his starts this season, but that has not stopped him training and encouraging the younger players and passing on his experiences.
|
 |
Mark Jones
24, Industrial Painter
Midfield
This cultured left footer has made his position safe. A natural winger he loves running at defender and is a great striker of the ball, from short range or distance. Physically he is very strong and quick so covers a lot of ground.
|
 |
Scott Murray
24, Builder’s Office Manager
Midfield
Scott has added physical power and strength to his undoubted skill levels this season, making him one of the most productive players in the league. He has good vision and is able to pick out a pass.
|
 |
Luke Hayward
22, Bricklayer
Midfield
One of the most skilful and cultured midfield players in the county. His work ethic is exceptional, but he is also a real team player. Creates numerous chances and also scores on a regular basis.
|
 |
James Skudder
26, Estate Agent
Midfield
Powerful, strong runner with the ball at his feet, especially in and around the box. He has added a defensive element to his game this season. Very unselfish player, high with assists.
|
 |
Liam Boswell
21, Tesco worker
Midfield
Creative player with silky skills and quick feet. Has a good eye for goal, especially from set pieces in and around the area.
|
 |
Adam Hawkins
25, Store Manager, Lidl
Forward
One of the best all round strikers in county in recent years. Apart from his goal scoring his work rate and assists set him out as a complete team player. Unanimously voted as players' player last season.
|
 |
Joe John
27, Carer
Forward
Without doubt one of the stand out goal scorers in Pembrokeshire over the last few seasons. 30+ goals in all competitions so far this season to add to 35 last season. Incredibly has bagged six hat-tricks.
|
 |
Russell Murray
49, PCC
Manager
This team has been built over a number of seasons, with promotion from division two in 2010. He has added quality to the squad this season. As a player he won the league with Johnston and in the Senior Cup has a winner's medal (v Solva) and a losers (v Merlins Bridge). Very much a passing coach.

Steve Hayward
50, Head 2 Toe
Assistant manager
Joined Russell this season to add experience to the coaching team. As a player was a prolific goal scorer during 1980's. Won the Pembrokeshire League twice with Johnston and like Russell has tasted success and defeat in the Senior Cup.
