Wimbledon Born in
Lambeth, London, Euell rose through the ranks at the
Wimbledon youth academy. He made his senior debut in the
1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup, as a substitute for
Grant Payne on matchday one, against
Bursaspor. After scoring on his league debut in October 1995 against
Southampton as an 18-year-old, he went on to make further a further eight Premier League appearances, and scored one more goal, in the
1995–96 season. The
following season he made a total of eight appearances, scoring two goals. In
1997–98 he began playing more regularly, making a total of 23 appearances, scoring eight goals, including three goals in three
FA Cup games. He established himself as a regular first team player in the
1998–99 season, making a total of 43 appearances, including 33 in the league and scoring ten goals. During the 1998–99 season, he scored twice on two occasions against
Sheffield Wednesday and
Coventry City. The
following season he made a total of 45 appearances, scoring five goals. However, the Dons finished in 18th place and so were relegated to the
First Division. After the club's relegation, Euell was linked with a £5 million move to
Charlton Athletic but the bid was rejected by Wimbledon. Nevertheless, he spent the
2000–01 season with Wimbledon in the First Division and scored 19 goals in 36 league games, his highest season tally of goals. Along the way Euell scored twice on four occasions this season against Sheffield Wednesday,
Tranmere Rovers,
Preston North End and
Queens Park Rangers. Euell made a total of 181 appearances, scoring 47 goals in six years with the Dons.
Charlton Athletic in 2006. In July 2001,
Charlton Athletic signed him for a club record fee of £4.75 million, bringing him back to the Premier League. He made his debut on 18 August in a 2–1 home defeat to
Everton. His first goal for the Addicks came in the third round of the
League Cup on 9 October in a 1–0 win over
West Bromwich Albion at
the Hawthorns. His first league goal came on 20 October in a 1–1 draw with
Derby County at
Pride Park. On 19 November Euell scored a first half
brace in a 4–4 home draw with
West Ham United. He scored both goals in a 2–1 home win over
Chelsea on 2 March 2002. In the
2001–02 season he made a total of 40 appearances, scoring 13 goals as the Addicks finished in 14th place in the Premier League. In his first three seasons with the Addicks Euell was top scorer. In the 2002–03 season, Euell started the season well when he scored in a 2–1 win over
Bolton Wanderers on 24 August 2002. Throughout December, he scored four goals against
Liverpool,
Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. Once again, he finished the season as a top scorer, scoring 11 goals in the total of 39 appearances. In the 2003–04 season, Euell continued to be in goal-scoring form when he scored in a 4–0 win over
Wolverhampton Wanderers, followed up by scoring in a 2–2 draw against Everton. However, he was sent–off for a second bookable offence in the 63rd minute when he made a "reckless tackle" on
Gary Neville, in a 2–0 loss against
Manchester United on 13 September 2003. After his sending off, Euell's action was criticised by Manager
Alan Curbishley. This led to transfer speculation over Euell's future at Charlton, although this was denied by Curbishley. After serving a three match suspension, and despite being sidelined twice later in the season, he later scored twice against Wolverhampton Wanderers and
Leeds United, a victory that ultimately saw them relegated. For the third time running, he finished the season as a top scorer, scoring 10 goals in total of 34 appearances. In the 2004–05 season Euell went on to score twice against
Portsmouth and
Norwich City in the first half of the season. He struggled to replicate his form from his first three seasons due to injuries. He made seven starts in the season and spent much of his time on the substitute bench. During the season, Euell was the subject of transfer speculation after being linked with a move away from Charlton, although this was denied by Curbishley once again. He was previously targeted by a bid of £2.5 million from
Crystal Palace, which was turned down during the transfer window. Nevertheless, he went on to make 31 appearances and scored twice. In 2005–06 season, Euell missed much of the season with a shoulder injury, which he sustained in a friendly match against
Dover Athletic. Following his return from injury in December, Euell failed to get back into the first team, scoring only once all season, although he turned down a transfer to
Birmingham City in January 2006. In five years at the club Euell made a total of 155 appearances, scoring 37 goals.
Middlesbrough Euell joined
Middlesbrough on 31 August 2006 for £300,000. It came after Euell was not included under Manager
Iain Dowie's plan at the start of the 2006–07 season and was placed on the transfer list. His first game in a Boro shirt was a 1–1 draw with
Arsenal on 9 September 2006 at the
Emirates Stadium. Euell set up
James Morrison to give Middlesbrough a 1–0 lead before
Thierry Henry equalized. In a 0–0 draw against Liverpool on 18 November 2006, Euell was racially abused by Middlesbrough fan David Harton, leading him to be banned from attending football matches for three years. However, his stay at the
Riverside Stadium lasted just one season, during which he made a total of 20 appearances, but failing to score. He started the
2007–08 season with Boro. However, after not figuring in manager
Gareth Southgate's plans, his contract with the club was cancelled in late August 2007.
Southampton On 31 August 2007, Euell moved to
Championship club
Southampton on a free transfer. He made his Saints debut the following day as a 64th-minute substitute for
Andrew Surman in a 3–0 win over
Queens Park Rangers at
Loftus Road. His first goal came in his eighth Saints appearance, when he scored the second goal in a 3–2 win over
Burnley at
Turf Moor on 27 October. Euell went on to score two more goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers and
Bristol City. Despite being sidelined on two occasions, He made a total of 41 appearances in the
2007–08 season scoring three goals, as the club finished just two points above the relegation places in 20th on 54 points. During the season, he began playing in central defence following a defensive crisis. In the
2008–09 season, Euell found his first team opportunities hard to come by under the management of
Jan Poortvliet and appeared in the reserve side at the start of the season. As a result, Euell's future at the club was in doubt and considered leaving the club in the summer. After the summer transfer window closed, Manager Poortvliet was considering his choices to let Euell return to the first team. After dislocating his shoulder that kept him out for a month, Euell made his first appearance of the season, starting the whole game, in a 1–1 draw against
Coventry City on 28 October 2008. However, in a 2–1 loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 15 November 2008, Euell received a straight red card after
"he and Richard Stearman both dived in feet first for a loose ball but the Wolves man came off by far the worst." After serving a match ban, Euell returned to the starting eleven, where he set up a goal for Surman, in a 3–2 win over Burnley on 13 December 2008. Euell made 24 appearances, scoring two goals, both of which came in a 3–0 win over
Ipswich Town at
Portman Road on 3 March 2009. Southampton finished second bottom of the Championship in 23rd and were relegated to
League One. At the end of the 2008–09 season, Euell, along with
Bradley Wright-Phillips, were told that they do have a future at the club but would be offered a new contract on a vastly reduced terms. Instead, Euell didn't respond to the contract offered at the club, making him a free agent and departed the club in favour of joining Blackpool. Prior to his release in May, local newspaper
Daily Echo predicted that Euell were amongst the players to leave, due to his then being the highest earner at the club. Euell made a total of 65 appearances in two seasons with
the Saints, scoring five goals.
Blackpool It was reported on 19 July 2009 that Euell was about to sign for Championship side
Blackpool. Two days later he signed a one-year contract with an option for a further twelve months with the Seasiders. Of the move Euell said, "I had a meeting with
Ian Holloway last week and it was a good, funny chat to discuss football as well as other things. It swayed for me to want to be here and be part of what Ian's trying to achieve in moving the club forward and I want to be part of that." On 8 August 2009, he made his debut, and captained the team, as
the Seasiders started the 2009–10 season with a 1–1 draw with
Queens Park Rangers at
Loftus Road. His first goal came in
the Seasiders 2–1 win over
Newcastle United at
Bloomfield Road on 16 September. Two weeks later, on 16 September 2009, he scored his second goal of the season, in a 2–1 win over
Peterborough United. Although his role was later reduced to the substitute bench and played in the reserve side later in the season, Euell went on to score 2 more goals, adding his tally to 4 in the total of 35 appearances. At the end of the 2009–10 season, Euell's contract at Blackpool was triggered for another year. During a
League Cup match between Blackpool and
Stoke City at the
Britannia Stadium on 22 September, Euell, who at the time was sat on the substitutes bench, was racially abused by a Stoke fan, who was ejected from the stadium and subsequently arrested by
Staffordshire Police, before being released pending inquiries. Euell confronted the supporter that was taunting him. Blackpool manager
Ian Holloway, who had to restrain Euell, was furious in his post-match interview, saying: ''"We are human beings and Jason is a footballer. The colour of his skin shouldn't matter. It was disgusting. The stewards believed what Jason said, got the bloke out and I hope he is banned for life. (He is) an absolute disgrace of a human being. I thought those days had gone. Jason was just sat in the dugout at the time. I saw his reaction and I had to calm him down. It's absolutely disgraceful."
While Euell later said: "It did hurt. I felt I had to stand up for all colours and creeds and show that we won't accept it. I'm proud that I made a stand. It was a shock to hear what came out of the guy's mouth. Racism in football is not dead and buried but it's still a shock to hear that kind of thing in close proximity. There were people near the idiot who didn't agree with it, but there were others who turned a blind eye, which was disappointing."'' Euell received an official apology from Stoke City, who confirmed that they would "impose the toughest possible sanctions" on the supporter accused of racial abuse. In the wake of the incident,
Tottenham Hotspur manager
Harry Redknapp called for fans who racially abuse players to be imprisoned, saying: ''"That is disgusting – there's no place for that in the game. Surely we can't have that sort of behaviour now? Anyone who does it should be put in prison – not banned from football. Stick them where they belong, in the nut-house. It's wrong."'' when the case was adjourned until 10 November. On 25 November the fan, Robert Mason, said to suffer "from a schizo-affective disorder", admitted making a racist comment. He was given a three-year order banning him from all football grounds in the
United Kingdom and fined £170. Euell was a 76th-minute substitute in
Blackpool's debut
Premier League match, his first Premier League appearance since 2007, a 4–0 win over

After joining, Euell told the club's official website: ''"It feels good to be back and I'm happy that Chris Powell and the club have allowed me to come back to train and get fit.
