Jon made his breakthrough to the U18 squad aged just 15, when he was selected as part of a 19-man squad to travel to Switzerland for the FC Aesch U19 Tournament in July 2022.

He made his professional debut on 22 August 2023, playing the full match at centre back in a 3-3 draw away at Portsmouth in an EFL Trophy fixture for the U21 squad.

On 5 December 2023, Jon scored his first goal in professional football during a 3-2 loss away at Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Trophy.

The following summer, he was part of the first team's pre-season preparations as he flew out with the squad to Portugal, featuring on the bench for their 1-0 win over Benfica on 2 August 2024.
