Jonathon Gary Margetts (born 28 September 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for King's Lynn Town.

Career

Hull City

Born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Margetts was a Hull City youth graduate. In July 2012, he progressed through the youth ranks into the first team and signed his first professional contract.[3] On 27 February 2014, he joined Gainsborough Trinity in a one-month loan deal.[4]

Margetts scored 10 goals in only 13 league appearances for Gainsborough, including a hat-trick in a 6–0 home win over Oxford City on 12 April.[5] He returned to Hull in the summer, but was loaned to Harrogate Town on 18 August.[6]

On 23 December 2014, Margetts returned to Gainsborough, also on a loan deal.[7] On 13 March 2015, he joined Cambridge United on loan until the end of the season.[8] Margetts made his professional debut on the following day, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 League Two home draw against Stevenage.[9]

Tranmere Rovers

Following a successful pre-season trial and scoring five goals in three games, Margetts signed a one-year deal with National League club Tranmere Rovers.[10] He joined National League North club Stockport County on loan on 27 November 2015,[11] where he scored four goals from seven appearances. He joined National League side Altrincham on a one-month loan on 23 January 2016.[12] On 22 March 2016, Margetts joined National League team Southport on loan for the rest of the 2015–16 season.[13]

Lincoln City

Scunthorpe United

After scoring five goals in seven matches for Lincoln, Margetts signed for League One club Scunthorpe United on 31 August 2016 on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[15] He scored his first goal for Scunthorpe on his debut in an EFL Trophy tie against Shrewsbury Town on 4 October 2016.[16] A loan move to Crewe Alexandra[17] fell through in early February 2017.[18] On 1 March 2017, Margetts rejoined Lincoln City on loan until the end of 2016–17.[19]

Boston United

On 23 October 2018 he returned to Gainsborough Trinity on loan for three months.[21] He returned to Boston United in mid January 2019, but was loaned out again on 30 January, this time to Matlock Town for one month.[22] In the beginning of March 2019, Margetts joined the same club on loan once again, this time until the end of the season.[23]

Frickley Athletic

After a short spell at Tadcaster Albion, Margetts joined Frickley Athletic in September 2019.[24] He was made club captain in July 2020.

In May 2021, Margetts announced that he was leaving the club.[25]
