Jed John Steer (born September 23, 1992 in Norwich ) is an English football goalkeeper . He was trained in his hometown at the youth academy of Norwich City and moved to the first division club Aston Villa for the 2013/14 season . Previously, he had been in English national teams at the U-16, U-17 and U-19 levels and took part in the 2009 U-17 European Championship in Germany .

Athletic career

Steer joined Norwich City Youth Academy when he was 9. There he developed into one of the best English goalkeeping talents, which led to appointments in the U-16 and U-17 selections. The preliminary highlight was his participation in the U-17 European Championship finals in 2009, in which he played two games (England ultimately only won one point out of three games). When he was appointed to the U-19s, supervised by Noel Blake , at the beginning of the 2010/11 season , he had already made the leap into the professional field in Norwich. He gained his first practical experience in the senior sector the following season with the third division club Yeovil Town , for which he played fourteen competitive games in a three-month loan period until October 2011. For Norwich he completed two games in the FA Cup against West Bromwich Albion (2: 1) and Leicester City (1: 2) after his return . A year later, the sporting breakthrough in Norwich was still a long time coming, while Steer only came to match practice on a one-month loan period with fifth division club Cambridge United . He then decided to turn down a new contract offer by the "Canaries" in the summer of 2013 and instead to join the first division competitor Aston Villa for free - although the competition with Brad Guzan , Shay Given and Benjamin Siegrist was numerous.

During the first 2013/14 season in Birmingham, Steers' appearances in the first team were limited to three cup games. This was followed in the 2014/15 season by further loan shops with third division clubs, where he initially helped out for three months at Doncaster Rovers and then again at Yeovil Town. From February 2015 he was back with the "Villans" and on the last day of the match he made his debut in the Premier League against Burnley FC, who had already been relegated . The game was lost 1-0 and was of secondary importance in sporting terms , given that Aston Villa had to contest the FA Cup final the following week . In the 2015/16 season Aston Villa Steer borrowed one more time; now the second division Huddersfield Town was the goal and a first two-month loan period continued after the injury of Joe Murphy from the end of November the commitment.

At the beginning of the 2018/19 season, Steer moved to another loan club, with his commitment to third division club Charlton Athletic again being designed for an entire season. After 20 competitive games for Charlton, the Aston Villa sports management called him back prematurely after regular goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland's loss due to injury . Steer was primarily planned as a replacement for Lovre Kalinić, who had recently been engaged . In mid-February 2019, however, he had to be replaced in the game against West Bromwich Albion at half-time and Steer began a longer series of operations from this point on. Against Stoke City he was in the starting line-up a week later and after performing well, he kept his position after Kalinić returned. Steer played a key role in the positive development of his team with ten winning games in a row and after reaching the play-off round, he held two penalties in the semifinals (again against West Bromwich Albion), which in turn brought them into the final. The subsequent final won Steer with Aston Villa 2-1 against Derby County , which he rose to the Premier League.
