Jon-Jan Jónsen is a Craitish former-footballer who last played for Biulya äqi Jedu FC, with whom he spent the majority of his career. Ordinarily an attacking midfielder, Jónsen dropped into a deeper role during the latter stages of his career and won a total of 48 caps internationally.
Career
Club
Jónsen started his professional career as an 18 year-old ahead of the inaugural Craitish season by signing for Xäiville Teflons FC, where he was handed the team's number 10 shirt. Although the club struggled competitively in its early years, Jónsen was somewhat of a standout player, alongside midfield partner Jón F'achh, and his performances led to a Cr 2 million move to Biulya äqi Jedu FC in the summer of 2005; a then-record transfer for the league.
Jónsen took the 12 shirt at BäJ, and was immediately made a regular in the starting line-up in his first season there. Although the club was unable to finish higher than fifth in his first three years there, Jónsen personally had a strong 2007 season as he scored four league goals and attracted interest from abroad before ultimately remaining with the side. The 2009 campaign saw Jónsen help the club to third in the league and a first tournament victory, while a consecutive top-three finish followed in 2010. As mid-table finishes followed for the following three years, Jónsen was the club's top scorer in 2012 as he scored a personal-best twelve league goals.
The 2014 season began a period of unprecedented success for the team as a second-placed finish in the league was crowned by a second King's Cup triumph, as Jónsen scored eight league goals including an opening-day hat-trick. Jónsen was exposed to further competition for his starting place during this time due to the addition of the highly-rated Gerenian youngster Zelmar Toscano. BäJ secured a treble of trophies the following year, with Jónsen's nine goals part of a first league title as the team also became the first from Craitland to win the WMFA Champions' League, before adding the 2015 FMF Champions' League to their honours. Although only finishing third in the league in 2016, the club won a second consecutive WMFA title that year as Jónsen's involvement was limited to just two league goals. Jónsen scored thrice in the 2017 campaign, but was unable to help the club finish higher than sixth, and announced his retirement from football after the culmination of the season at the age of 33, with six winner's medals to his name.
