Encyclopedic overview
James Michael Justin (born 23 February 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Leeds United. Predominantly a right-back, Justin has occasionally played as a left-back.
Justin started his career with Luton Town after progressing through their academy, making his professional debut in 2016. His breakthrough came in the 2016–17 season as he became an important part of the team. He struggled to establish his place in the 2017–18 season but Luton were promoted to EFL League One. The following season, he once again became an integral player for Luton as they secured back-to-back promotions. He joined Leicester City in 2019 after four seasons with Luton. He established himself in the Leicester team in the 2020–21 season, but his involvement was cut short after suffering an ACL injury. He made his return in January 2022, but suffered another ACL injury in November, ruling him out for the rest of the 2022–23 season. Following Leicester's relegation, Justin became an important player for Enzo Maresca in the EFL Championship, the club securing an instant return to the Premier League after winning the league title.
