James Alexander Jeggo (born February 12, 1992 in Vienna , Austria ) is an Australian - English soccer player .

Career

society

Jeggo was born in 1992 in the Austrian capital Vienna and started playing football there at the age of four or five. At the age of ten he moved to Australia with his family. There he first played in the junior division of Green Gully SC before continuing his football training at the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS). At the age of 16, Jeggo took almost a year off football after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma . The disease was successfully treated with eight months of chemotherapy at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital .

In 2010 he was accepted into the junior team of the Melbourne Victory professional club , with whom he competed in the National Youth League and under the name VTC Football in the Victorian Premier League . Although he had a broken ankle before the start of the season and was only able to play in the last season games, he received his first contract for the professional team in March 2011. In the professional team, he made his debut under coach Mehmet Durakovic on November 12, 2011 as a substitute for the Central Coast Mariners . Durakovic had already looked after Jeggo at VIS and after his cancer he invited him to train with Melbourne after his recovery. The midfielder only experienced his breakthrough after Durakovic's dismissal under his successor Jim Magilton , who deliberately relied on young players. Jeggo started the last seven games of the 2011/12 season in Victory's midfield center. On the penultimate matchday, his first competitive goal in the professional field followed with a long-range shot to the 3-0 final score against Wellington Phoenix . Melbourne Victory missed the play-offs at the end of the season; Jeggo was named best young player and best player of the youth team at the end of the 2011/12 season and was also highlighted in the Australian media as one of the few positive appearances in Victory's season.

After he was already in contact with the Austrian Bundesliga club SK Sturm Graz in the summer of 2015 , but an alleged change from his home club was rejected, Jeggo switched to the black and white team in Austria in January 2016 , with whom he signed a contract that was valid until June 2018 .

For the 2018/19 season he moved to league competitor FK Austria Wien , with whom he received a contract that ran until June 2021. For the Viennese he made 46 Bundesliga appearances in two seasons. For the 2020/21 season he moved to Greece to Aris Thessaloniki .

National team

The performance of the central midfielder did not go unnoticed by the Australian association, U-23 selection coach Aurelio Vidmar appointed him to the Australian U-23 national team for the first time in March 2012 for the last game as part of qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games , At this point, Australia no longer had a chance to qualify for the tournament. Jeggo had to cancel his participation in the game due to a knee injury.

Jeggo was part of the Australian senior team for the first time in October 2016 . In June 2017, although he had not yet played a game, he was called up to replace Mile Jedinak in Australia's squad for the Confederations Cup . However, he was also not allowed to debut at the Confederation Cup; he was eliminated with Australia in the group stage as third in group B. He finally made his national debut in November 2018 when he came on for Mustafa Amini in a 74th minute test match against Lebanon .
