Club career

John-Jules made his debut for Arsenal under-23s against Arsenal's North London derby rivals Tottenham Hotspur and scored in the match.[6] He was part of the Arsenal under-18 team that reached the final of the 2017–18 FA Youth Cup.[7]

John-Jules signed professional terms for Arsenal in 2018.[4] In 2019, head coach Unai Emery selected him for the club's pre-season tour of the United States.[8] He renewed his contract with the club in August 2019.[9] Later in the year, he started to train with the first team squad at the request of Freddie Ljungberg, Arsenal's under-23 manager who was then the acting first team coach.[5]

John-Jules was loaned to Lincoln City in January 2020.[10][11] The move was made by Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta in order for John-Jules to get first team football in his preferred role as a striker.[12] He made his Lincoln City debut against Shrewsbury Town.[12] Lincoln City manager Michael Appleton praised John-Jules and said he could see him starting in Arsenal's first team in the future.[13] He scored his first Football League goal against Blackpool in his next match.[14] He was injured and ruled out for the rest of the season in March 2020.[15] He subsequently returned to his parent club.[16]

On 25 August 2023, John-Jules joined Derby County on loan until January 2024.[29][30] After making his debut against Peterborough United on 26 August 2023, he picked up a thigh injury during the international break which ruled him out of the game at home to Portsmouth on 16 September 2023.[31] John-Jules was out two months with this injury, missing 15 matches.[32] He scored his first goal for Derby in his return appearance from injury, with his first touch after being a 76th minute substitute against Port Vale on 28 November 2023, scoring a minute later in the 1–0 victory.[33] Derby head coach Paul Warne was keen to extend John-Jules loan beyond its middle of January 2024 expiry, with Arsenal and Derby being in talks to do so.[34] John-Jules started his first game for Derby on 6 January 2024, at Fleetwood Town.[35] Later that month his loan was extended until the end of the season.[36] On 23 January 2024, John-Jules left the field against Reading in pain from a "serious" injury; later in the week it was confirmed that he would out for foreseeable future with a severe hamstring tear which may require surgery, and that the spate of injuries during his loan spells was taking a toll on him mentally.[37] On 8 February 2024, Warne confirmed that John-Jules had surgery on the injury, which ruled him out for the rest of the season. He also stated that John-Jules had returned to Arsenal for recovery and rehabilitation from said surgery.[38] However, John-Jules returned to training at Derby in April with a chance of a possible return to action before the end of the season.[39]
