Jon Newby (born November 28, 1978 in Warrington) is an English footballer, currently playing for Burton Albion in the Blue Square Premier, on loan until January from Greenock Morton in the Scottish First Division.

Career

Known for his lightning pace, Newby began his career with Liverpool, and was involved in their FA Youth Cup win of 1996. He made 4 appearances for Liverpool, and was loaned out to Carlisle United (December 1999), Crewe Alexandra (March 2000), Sheffield United (August 2000), and Bury (February 2001). This final loan move was made permanent, with Bury getting him on a free transfer on March 20th, 2001. In summer 2003 he moved on to Huddersfield, but the move was not a success, and following a loan spell at York City, he returned to Bury a year later.

"Newbs" as he is affectionately known by the Gigg Lane fans was released in May 2006 after failing to break his way back into the first team. He subsequently joined Wrexham [cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wrexham/4786507.stm|title=Newby becomes Wrexham's new boy|publisher=BBC Sport|date=2006-08-12|accessdate=2008-09-23] for a short spell before leaving the club in December 2006.

His first professional hat-trick came against Rotherham United in March 2008, scoring all three goals in the first half and helped Morecambe to a 5-1 victory in a surprising good season for the club.
