John's professional career began in 2010 at the age of 18, when he signed to W Connection in Trinidad and Tobago. At the beginning of the second season, he went on loan to fellow Pro League rivals Police F.C. where he spent two seasons. In July 2013, he transferred to newly promoted Point Fortin Civic F.C., his home town team. In January 2016, he signed to C.D. Universidad de El Salvador,[2] helping the then last place team avoid relegation and retain their spot in the El Salvador Primera Division for the upcoming season and earned himself a selection to the "best 11" team of the 2016 season.[3]
His senior national team debut came in May 2016 when Trinidad and Tobago faced off against Peru for an international friendly.[4] This was followed by another appearance against top-10 ranked Uruguay for another international friendly.[5] John also represented Trinidad at youth level when he was a part of the 2011 Under 20 World Cup qualifying team.[6]
