Congratulations to client John Marquis who has joined Portsmouth Football Club on a three-year deal from Doncaster Rovers.

John joined Doncaster Rovers in 2016 and quickly established himself in the Side’s First Team Squad. He scored 26 goals in 40 appearances in his maiden season, with his contributions helping the Side achieve promotion to League One. 

John was awarded the Sky Bet League Two Golden Boot for the 2016/17 season and was voted Club Player of the Season, Player’s Player, awarded Goal of the Season and was named in the EFL League Two PFA Team of the Year.

John continued to impress at Doncaster Rovers. In the 2018/19  campaign he scored 26 goals in 54 appearances and was named League One Player of the Month for September. In the same month he made his 100th appearance for the Club and scored his 50th goal for Doncaster. He was named in the PFA League One Team of the Year and won Football League Centre Forward of the Year for League One. 

In total he made 153 appearances at Doncaster Rovers, scoring 66 goals and making 19 assists.

John now joins League One side Portsmouth- who he spent a spell on loan with in 2013- and hopes to be an integral part in the Club’s challenge for promotion. John shared his excitement at signing for the  Club and expressed his desire to impress the home fans in the upcoming season, he said:

“I’m extremely excited to be re-joining Portsmouth on a permanent basis. A team with big ambition that matches my drive to go to the next level. The opportunity to play in front of 16,000 Portsmouth fans at home every week was one I couldn’t turn down. I look forward to meeting my team mates and getting started to help score the goals to get us towards our target of promotion”.

All at New Era would like to congratulate John on his move and look forward to monitoring his progress next season.
