Jon McLaughlin, born on 9 September 1987 (age 39), is a Scottish goalkeeper whose senior career has taken him through English league football and back into the Scottish game.
He was at Bradford City in 2008-09, making a league appearance in a season that formed part of his early senior development. From there, his career settled into the familiar goalkeeper’s route: patience, competition, and spells where reliability mattered more than noise.
McLaughlin later added Scottish honours to his record, winning one Premiership title and one Scottish Cup. Those medals give his career a firmer shape, even if he was never a player around whom much theatre was required.
He is primarily associated here with Burton Albion, another stop in a solid professional career built around goalkeeping work rather than headlines. His career reads as that of an established senior keeper who moved between clubs, took his chances, and collected a couple of notable Scottish honours along the way.
