Jack William Midson (born 12 September 1983) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a striker for National League club Braintree Town.
Midson was the 2011–12 League Two joint top scorer, along with Izale McLeod, Lewis Grabban & Adebayo Akinfenwa, with 18 goals and scored 20 goals in all competitions during the 2011–12 season for AFC Wimbledon, finishing the season as their top scorer. He was AFC Wimbledon top scorer the following season as well, scoring 15 goals in all competitions and 13 in the league.
Midson was born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. He was a tennis and football coach in Cambridgeshire and Enfield as well as a semi-professional footballer. He started his career at Stevenage Borough before spells at Dagenham & Redbridge, Chelmsford City and Bishop's Stortford before a successful one and a half-year spell at Histon, where he scored 20 goals in the 2008–09 season. He also taught PE lessons at Capel Manor Primary School and others as part of a fitness organisation course.
After disappointment in the 2008–09 Conference play-off semi-final, Midson left Histon after firm interest from Oxford United. He joined Oxford United on 16 May 2009 on a two-year professional contract. Midson featured regularly as Oxford gained promotion to the Football League after four years in the Conference Premier, and started for Oxford in the 2009–10 Conference play-off final at Wembley Stadium.
