Jack McCauley Jebb (born 11 September 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Newport County.

Club career

Dubbed the "new Jack Wilshere" and described as a "technically-gifted central midfielder", Jebb signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in September 2012.[2][3] In 2013 he was banned for four matches after he racially abused a Norwich City player in an Under-18 game.[4] Having played regularly for Arsenal's Under-18s, Jebb joined League Two club Stevenage on a one-month loan on 16 October 2014.[5] He made his league debut for Stevenage two days later against Accrington Stanley, coming on as a 56th-minute substitute for Dean Parrett.[6]

Jebb re-joined Stevenage on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season on 26 March 2015.[7] He joined the club on a one-year deal on 1 September 2015.[8] He was released by Stevenage at the end of the 2015–16 season.

Jebb joined league two Newport County on 8 November 2016 on a short term contract[9] and made his debut the same day in the starting line-up for the EFL Trophy match versus AFC Wimbledon. Newport won the game 2–0.[10]
