Bio

John Michael Lewis Mousinho (born 30 April 1986) is a former English professional footballer. He is the chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), and the Head Coach of Portsmouth. Mousinho began his professional football career at Brentford, having previously been on the books at Chesham United and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the latter whilst studying at the University of Notre Dame. He spent two and a half years at Brentford, before joining Wycombe Wanderers in June 2008 on a free transfer. Mousinho played regularly for Wycombe for two seasons; witnessing both a promotion and relegation during his tenure at the Buckinghamshire club. He rejected a contract extension from Wycombe in June 2010, and instead opted to join Stevenage on a two–year contract. In his first season at Stevenage, Mousinho helped guide the club to back-to-back promotions, scoring the winner in the 2010–11 League Two play-off final, as well as finishing as the club's joint top goalscorer for the season. Following an injury-hit season during the 2011–12 campaign, Mousinho left Stevenage and joined Preston North End. In his final season at the club, he was loaned to Gillingham and back to Stevenage before being released and joining Burton in June 2014. On 31 August 2017, Mousinho signed for Oxford United on a two year deal after leaving Burton by mutual consent earlier in the day. The former Burton captain played in all 3 divisions of the Football League with the club.
