Jack Stephen Payne (born 5 December 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League side Boreham Wood.
He made his debut for Gillingham in a League Two match against Chester City on 25 October 2008, and signed an 18-month professional contract three months later.[2] He was voted Young Player of the Year for Gillingham at the end of the 2008–09 season.[3] He made his first senior start for the club on 8 August 2009 in a 5–0 League One victory over Swindon Town.[4] Payne's form created interest from then Championship side Reading though no offer was ever lodged. Payne then signed a two-year extension in November 2011 to keep him at the club until 2015.[5]
In January 2013, Payne signed on loan for Championship club Peterborough United until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent move.[6] Payne had been due to sign for the Posh in the summer of 2012, however the deal fell through.[7] Payne made 14 appearances whilst on loan at Peterborough, having made his debut for the club on 2 February 2013 as an 84th-minute substitute in a 2–2 draw with Burnley. Peterborough finished 22nd in the Championship and were relegated to League One, whilst parent club Gillingham were promoted to League One as League Two champions.[8] He joined Peterborough United on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee in summer 2013.[9] Payne featured as a 67th minute substitute when Peterborough defeated Chesterfield 3–1 in the 2014 Football League Trophy final at Wembley.[10] Following the conclusion of the 2014–15 season, he was transfer-listed by the club.[11]
On 1 September 2015, Payne went on a season-long loan to League Two club Leyton Orient, with an option for a permanent deal.[12] He made his debut for the club on 12 September 2015 in a 1–1 draw with Cambridge United.[13] He scored his first goal for the club on 24 October 2015 with the only goal of a 1–0 win away to Morecambe.[14] He made 32 appearances for Orient across the 2015–16 season, and scored once.
In August 2016 he signed for Blackpool on a one-year deal.[15] He left the club in May 2017 after his contract ended, shortly after featuring for the club in their League Two play-off final victory over Exeter City.[16]
Payne signed for side Ebbsfleet United in June 2017.[17] He made his debut for the Kent side in a 2–2 draw away to Guiseley on the opening day of the 2017–18 season.[18]
He joined fellow National League side Eastleigh on a one-month loan in September 2018.[19]
Having rejected the offer of a new deal at Ebbsfleet, Payne joined Eastleigh permanently in June 2019, signing a one-year deal with the Hampshire side.[20] [21] He made his second debut for the side in a 1–0 victory over Notts County on 3 August 2019.[22]
Payne joined League Two side Crawley Town for an undisclosed fee on 1 July 2021 on an initial one-year deal, with the option of an additional year.[23]
In July 2022, Payne joined Boreham Wood of the National League following the cancellation of his contract with Crawley.[24]
