He began playing for Arsenal's youth teams at the age of seven and progressed through their academy to be offered scholarship terms.〔 Banton left the club in January 2008 and joined Tottenham Hotspur.〔 His time there was brief and he had a trial with West Ham United before returning to Arsenal.〔〔 He left the club again later that year after becoming "disillusioned" by his lack of progress, and signed with Blackburn Rovers in October.〔 In his first year with the club, Banton was the top scorer in their academy side.〔 Banton had his contract at Blackburn terminated towards the end of 2010.〔 He joined Liverpool in January 2011 after spending time there on trial.〔〔 Banton was released at the end of the season without making a first-team appearance for the club.In an interview with LFC TV, Banton described himself as a left-winger, saying that "I'm right-footed but I like to play on the left and cut in."

I'm just glad to get the opportunity to come to Seattle." The club's technical director Chris Henderson said: "We think he's a guy who, depending on how things play out with our wingers, can step in on either flank."〔 Banton was cut by the Sounders in February after attending training camps in Washington and Arizona. Banton then returned to England and joined Crystal Palace on trial in the summer, where he was given a contract through to the end of the 2012–13 season in October. He made his first-team debut for Palace in an FA Cup tie against Stoke City in January 2013. Later that month, Banton joined Plymouth Argyle on loan until March. "He can be a very exciting player," said manager John Sheridan. "I thought it was important we got a player who is going to gain us that ground, 30 or 40 yards on up the pitch, quickly." Banton made his debut in a 0–0 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge, and scored both goals in a 2–1 win at Aldershot Town a week later. In March, he signed a new one-year contract with Palace and extended his loan with Argyle until the end of the season. Banton won the Football League Two Player of the Month award for March after scoring three goals in six appearances. In all, he played in 14 matches for Argyle and scored six goals before being recalled by Palace in April. That summer, he moved to Milton Keynes Dons on loan until January 2014. Banton made his debut against Shrewsbury Town in August and scored his first goal for the club in a League Cup tie at Northampton Town three days later. He scored two more goals and had made 17 appearances in all competitions before losing his place in the team in December. Having not played in a first team game for nearly a month, and with his loan due to expire, he returned to Crystal Palace at the start of January. The following week, Banton rejoined Plymouth Argyle permanently by signing an 18-month contract. He was released by Plymouth at the end of the 2014–15 season. On 30 June 2015, Banton joined League Two side, Wycombe Wanderers on a one-year contract. However, having found first-team opportunities hard to come by, in October he moved on loan to Hartlepool United, only to return to his parent club a month later after having his loan spell cut short. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jason Banton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
