Jack Compton began his career as a youth academy player with Portsmouth before signing for West Bromwich Albion at the age of 17. However he was unable to break into the first team and joined Conference National side Weymouth on a one-month loan deal in February 2008, making his debut in a 0–0 draw with Torquay United. He made a total of four appearances with the club before returning to West Bromwich Albion, where he was later released without making a first team appearance.
Following his release, Compton spent time on trial with Football League One side Brighton & Hove Albion, featuring in three pre-season friendly matches, before signing a short term deal at the club in August 2008 Having not made an appearance for Brighton, he joined Conference National side Lewes on loan on 6 October 2008 Released by Brighton on his return, Compton spent a two-month spell with Havant & Waterlooville, before joining Weston-super-Mare. While playing with the Somerset-based club, Compton also worked as a part-time gardener.
His performances attracted the attention of Falkirk manager Eddie May, who beat off competition from Football League Championship side Newcastle United to sign Compton on a pre-contract deal.He arrived at Falkirk during the January transfer window and made his debut for the club as a substitute in place of Ryan Flynn during a 1–1 draw with Celtic. In his first season, Compton made 12 league appearance and Falkirk was relegated to the Scottish First Division. In his second season, Compton made 24 league appearance and scored against Stirling Albion, Cowdenbeath and Raith Rovers. His time at Falkrik was struggling and ahead of a new season, Compton first team has been limited and have fallen out with manager Steven Pressley.
On 5 July, Compton and Falkirk had reached an agreement to tear up the last remaining year of his contract.
Loan spell at Bradford and St Johnstone
On 29 July 2011 it was reported on the Falkirk website that Compton had joined Bradford City on loan, becoming the third man joining Bradford from Falkirk along with Mark Stewart and Chris Mitchell. This was after initially not earning a permanent deal at the West Yorkshire club following a trial.n 6 August 2011, Compton made his league debut for the club in a 2–1 loss against Aldershot Town and setting up a goal for James Hanson. On 9 August 2011, he scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 defeat to local rivals Leeds United. Nearing the ending of his loan spell at Bradford, the club was keen to extend a loan on Compton following Kyel Reid injury.
Compton signed on loan for St. Johnstone in January 2012] On his move, Compton says he can make an impact at St. Johnstone.[However, he went on to make only three appearances, all coming from the bench.
On 10 August, he confirmed on Twitter that he had signed a contract with Portsmouth, after being on trial with the club.[On his move to Portsmouth, Compton said "I love this club" and admits he was "gobsmacked" when receiving offers from the club. Six days later, the deal was officially confirmed, with Compton signing a one-month contract. On the opening game of the season, he made his debut, making his first start, in a 1–1 draw against Bournemouth In a 4–2 loss against Carlisle United, he played 90 minutes and set up a goal for Conor Clifford in a late minutes. However, Compton then found games hard to come by, and in late-November 2012, he was close to joining Plymouth Argyle on loan but the deal stalled, caretaker manager Guy Whittingham stating that Compton had a future at the club. Soon after, Compton was involved in an incident on Twitter when he grew frustrated by the lack of first team involvement and eventually apologised to Whittingham in person.[ Compton was then deemed surplus to requirements at Portsmouth, and was released from the club in the January transfer window.
Colchester United
On 1 January 2013, Compton signed with fellow League One team Colchester United[and made his debut for the club as a second-half substitute for Gavin Massey in a 3–0 defeat against Crawley Town the same day. He became the 600th player to represent Colchester United in the Football League with his debut.
Compton found his chances limited at Colchester, having made only seven appearances and starting only one of those matches. After just three months with the club, he was released from his contract on 11 April 2013
Hartlepool United
On 27 June 2013, Compton signed for Hartlepool United following his Colchester United exit, becoming new manager Colin Cooper's first summer signing] He scored his first goal for the club on 3 September against former club Bradford City in the Football League Trophy. He scored his first league goals for the club on 5 October, scoring twice in a 4-1 win against Mansfield Town. |

Monky wants tO return North as his family live in Leeds EASTER COMPTON new strike force ... I can't see Hartlepool would want to re-sign Monkhouse having released him last season. Also surely we can actually attract players this summer not just sign players who looking to live in this part of the world? |

Well, their previous manager's reign was pretty much unmitigated disaster, so undoing some of his mistakes might be seen as a positive move. |

I think it goes...... Stoke Gifford......Shortwood/Siston.......Severnside......Uwe.......so in 30 years we've gone no where other than going round in circles and crossing the road. In that time the road has gone from two lanes to at least 6 I think.......

Imagine if he turns out to be another James Norwood. I'm going to need help with that one... Last summer twitter rumours suggested he was going to sign for us, that prompted alot of gasheads to tweet him things about joining, which he then retweeted and favored other posts. He didn't have the maturity to handle all the attention, he knew he was never signing for us, funny & pathetic. |

Jack Compton needs help in order to fulfil potential, says Hartlepool boss Ronnie MooreRichard Mennear 10:30Wednesday 06 May 2015 JACK Compton CAN fulfil his potential but only if he seeks professional help first, says Hartlepool United boss Ronnie Moore.
The 26-year-old is leaving Pools after two seasons in the North East after being brought to the club by Colin Cooper.
He has immense ability but I have sat openly and said to him that he needs to speak to a psychologist or a psychiatrist and if he gets that bit right then he’ll be fine.
But the winger struggled for consistency during his time at the club, dividing opinion among supporters, after failing to regularly produce the “immense ability” that Moore believes he has. Moore insisted he got on well with the former Falkirk, Bradford and Portsmouth winger, but said Compton needs to speak with a psychologist or a psychiatrist if he is to achieve his potential. In the aftermath of the 2-1 win over Exeter City – the game which sealed Pools’ Great Escape – Compton confirmed he would be leaving the club for family reasons. The Pools boss famously labelled him ‘Marmite’ saying you either loved him or hated him, given his inconsistent nature and attitude problems but he believes he will get another club without too much trouble.“I have no problem with Jack, we get on,” Moore told SportMail. “He has immense ability but I have sat openly and said to him that he needs to speak to a psychologist or a psychiatrist and if he gets that bit right then he’ll be fine.
“You need consistency and need to be looking after your life off the pitch as well.
“If you can’t trust that part of things then I thought it was better we let him go but he will get a club, no problem.
“There will be managers who can think they can make him a better player because of the ability he has got, whether they do is another thing.”
Compton, who once got involved in a Twitter spat with teammate Scott Harrison, had missed nine league games after falling out of favour with Moore and spending time training with the youth team.But he made his return in the win against Exeter at Victoria Park. Moore added: “We thank him for his time with us. “Jack won us a couple of games on his own with his great left foot and he puts a great ball into the box. “But you have to have the full package and need to look after yourself when the games are finished. “When he learns that part, hopefully he will move on.” Compton wasn’t involved in the 3-3 draw with Carlisle United on the final day of the season as Pools finished third-bottom in Sky Bet League Two. Experienced striker Marlon Harewood will also be leaving when his contract expires, as reported by SportMail earlier this week, once the Clarence Road club confirms the retained list ahead of the 2015-16 campaign. Moore is anticipating a busy summer as he looks to revamp his squad to avoid another repeat of this season, which saw Pools almost drop out of the Football League, only to save themselves in the final weeks of the season. Pools are set to let several senior players go, as Moore looks to bring in up to nine new signings before the squad returns for pre-season training in July. www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/football/hartlepool-utd/jack-compton-needs-help-in-order-to-fulfil-potential-says-hartlepool-boss-ronnie-moore-1-7245700Sounds like a player that Darrell might sort out (perhaps Ellis Harrison style). Then we would have another gem.
