James Justin, born on February twenty-third, nineteen ninety-eight, is an English professional footballer currently playing for Premier League club Leeds United. Primarily a right-back, he has also showcased his versatility by playing as a left-back on occasion.
Justin's football journey began at Luton Town, where he progressed through the academy ranks and made his professional debut in two thousand sixteen. His significant breakthrough came during the 2016–17 season, establishing himself as a key player for the team. Although he faced challenges in the following season, Luton Town achieved promotion to EFL League One, setting the stage for Justin's resurgence.
In the subsequent season, Justin played a pivotal role in Luton's back-to-back promotions. In two thousand nineteen, he made the move to Leicester City after four successful seasons with Luton. He quickly became a vital member of the Leicester squad during the 2020–21 season, but his progress was hampered by an ACL injury that sidelined him for a significant period.
After making his return in January two thousand twenty-two, Justin unfortunately suffered another ACL injury in November, which ruled him out for the remainder of the 2022–23 season. Following Leicester's relegation, he emerged as a crucial player under Enzo Maresca in the EFL Championship, helping the club secure an immediate return to the Premier League by winning the league title.
In addition to his club success, Justin has represented England at various youth levels and made his senior team debut in May two thousand twenty-two, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career.
