Jonathan 'Jon' Stead (born April 7, 1983 in Huddersfield, England) is an English football player who currently plays for Sunderland A.F.C. as a forward.
He was initially on the books at Huddersfield Town A.F.C., making his debut as a nineteen-year-old against Brentford F.C.
He scored four goals in three games at the start of the 2003/04 season, igniting interest from big clubs. He signed a deal to move to Blackburn Rovers until 2007. He marked his debut by scoring the only goal in a match against Middlesbrough F.C., and scored again in his next game against Newcastle United F.C. His performances led to a call-up for the England Under-21 side against the Netherlands.
The goals for Blackburn dried up however and with manager Mark Hughes signing additional forwards including Welsh International Craig Bellamy, Stead was transferred on June 13, to Sunderland in a deal worth £1.8 million.
