Jon-Paul Pittman (born 24 October 1986 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) is an American footballer who holds dual citizenship, and is currently playing for Wycombe Wanderers.
Pittman's early career started at Aston Villa's youth academy as an Eight year old, before moving to Nottingham Forest where he served his scholarship. He went on to appear in FA Cup & LDV Vans Trophy ties in his penultimate season there. To gain experience Whilst under the management of Gary Megson he was loaned out to Hartlepool United. Then under Colin Calderwood to Bury where he scored his first Football league goal as a consolation goal in Bury's 3-1 home defeat to Chester City in August 2006.
Pittman signed for Doncaster Rovers on a short term deal in January 2007, after being released by Forest at the end of 2006, ending an Eight year stint at the club. At the end of the season he was signed by Crawley Town on 28 June 2007.
Pittman keen to impress and impose himself on the scene, was quick to get people talking about him around the lower leagues. This in turn caught England C manager Paul Fairclough's eye and earned himself a cap against Italy in the International Challenge Trophy. Coupled with his better than one-in-two goal scoring record in all competitions, Wycombe Wanderers put in a five figure bid for the striker. He officially signed for the Chairboys on 2 February 2009.[1]
His first Wycombe goal was an important one as the winner in a 1-0 away victory at Dagenham & Redbridge on 17 February. Pittman is contracted to the club until summer 2011.[2]
