Jonathan Edward Page (born 8 February 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for East Fife.

Career

Having started his career in the youth sides at Southampton and then Portsmouth,[1] Page signed for Motherwell in 2008. He made his debut for Motherwell in a Europa League first qualifying round match against Llanelli on 9 July 2009.[2] He also featured in the next round, against Flamurtari.[3] [4]

In February 2009, Page signed on loan for Stirling Albion until the end of the 2009–10 season.[5] He scored his first senior goals scoring twice against East Fife in a 3–0 win for Stirling.[5] The loan was to prove beneficial, as Page helped The Binos to the Second Division title, earning promotion to the First Division.[6]

On his return to Motherwell, Page signed a one-year contract extension, until 2012.[7] He scored his first goal for Motherwell in a Europa League third qualifying round second-leg match against Aalesunds of Norway, the third goal for The Steelmen in a 3–0 win.[8] He then followed that up with a double in a 2–0 win over Brechin City in the League Cup on 21 September 2010.[9]

On 27 September 2012, with first-team opportunities limited, Page went on a one-month loan to Lanarkshire derby rivals Hamilton Academical.[10] [11] That was later extended by a further month,[12] and extended further until 27 December 2012.[13]

On 31 December 2012, Motherwell announced that Page would be released from his contract six-months early, making him free to sign for another club.[14] Two days later, Page signed a permanent deal with Hamilton Academical until the end of the season.[15]

On 18 June 2013, Page signed for Morton.[16] On 23 January 2014, he left Morton by mutual consent.[17]

After leaving Morton, Page signed for Scottish League One club Dunfermline Athletic on 24 January 2014.[18] He made his debut for Dunfermline in the 3–1 victory over Fife rivals East Fife on 1 February 2014

On 11 September 2014, Page signed for Scottish League Two club East Fife on a three-month loan.[19] After the loan ended in December, Page returned to Dunfermline and featured in the loss against Airdrieonians.[20] The following month he returned on loan to Bayview Stadium for the remainder of the season.[21] After just one season with The Pars, Page was released by the club.[22]

After leaving Dunfermline, Page signed a permanent deal with East Fife.[23]

Page spent three seasons with the Methil side before joining Airdrieonians in June 2018.[24] At the end of the 2018–19 season, he was made available for transfer by Airdrieonians.[25]

After spending time training with Peterhead,[26] Page signed for Brechin City on 13 August 2019.[27]

Page then moved to Clyde in June 2021.[28] On 3 May 2022, Page was one of ten players released by the club at the end of the 2021–22 season.[29]

After Clyde, Page moved to East Kilbride for a season and then returned to former club East Fife in January 2023.
