Jason Daniel Pearce (born 6 December 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays for Charlton Athletic and is the former captain of Wigan Athletic. He plays as a defender. He was previously the captain of Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Leeds United. Pearce joined League One side Charlton Athletic on the 4th August 2016 for an undisclosed fee.
Having joined Portsmouth as an apprentice in 2004, Pearce rose through the ranks. His professionalism despite his tender years earned him his first pro-contract in June 2006. He failed to make one appearance for Portsmouth during his first session with the club, and was loaned to Bognor Regis Town and Woking.
On 9 August 2007, Pearce moved along the south coast to Bournemouth, signing a two-year contract. He helped get Bournemouth promoted to League One from League Two during the 2009–10 season. On 4 January 2010, Pearce replaced Danny Hollands as first team captain, in a new-look structure that saw veteran striker Steve Fletcher become club captain.
During the 2010–11 season, Pearce led the club to the League One playoffs, however his involvement in the playoffs saw him sent off in extra time for a foul on Kevin Kilbane in the semi final second leg against Huddersfield Town as Bournemouth were knocked out on penalties and as a result unable to gain a back to back promotion. Pearce received Bournemouth's Player of the Year Award for the 2010–11 season.
Pearce was sold back to his old club Portsmouth on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £300,000, up to £600,000, on 24 June 2011. Pearce joined his new club alongside David Norris when the first team came back from absence on 1 July.
