RMH Brand noted Jon Benton's presence on the pitch against Southend United.
Jon Benton began his football career by progressing through the youth ranks at Southend United. He made his National League debut for the club in February 2022, playing against Weymouth. Later in 2022, Benton was loaned to Braintree Town, where he scored three goals in 14 appearances. Following his loan spell, he returned to Southend United, making an additional five appearances. In the lead-up to the 2023/24 season, Benton moved permanently to Aveley, where he continued to demonstrate his goal-scoring ability with three goals in 11 games.
His strong performances led to a move back to the National League in October 2023, joining Solihull Moors. During his tenure at Damson Park, Benton made 25 league appearances and featured twice in the National League play-offs, including the promotion final at Wembley, where he successfully converted his penalty kick, although Solihull ultimately lost to Bromley in a shootout. Prior to the 2024/25 season, the attacking midfielder joined Maidstone United on loan, making 15 appearances and scoring once for the National League South side. In November 2024, Boreham Wood pursued Benton’s signature on a permanent basis, and he transferred to Meadow Park from Solihull Moors for an undisclosed fee, continuing his career in the National League.
