John Eustace is a midfielder of Derby County. He was born on 3 November 1979 in Solihull, England.

In 1996, John penned his first senior contract with Coventry City and started to adapt to the performance at the new level. The footballer made occasional appearances for the club till 1998, when he went on loan to Dundee United. Eustace took part in 11 games and found the net one time for the team during his spell. In 2003, the midfielder sealed a temporary deal with Middlesbrough and managed to feature only in one match during his spell.

In the summer 2003, John left Coventry City with seven goals in 85 fixtures during seven years and signed for Stoke City. However, the footballer did not manage to clinch a regular place in the first squad of the new club, because of the competition from many talented and football-wise players.

The midfielder took part in 74 fixtures and fired five goals for his parent Stoke City till the summer 2008, when his services were secured by Watford. At the beginning of 2009, John went on loan to Derby County and scored one goal in nine games for the temporary team during his spell. After returning to his parent club, the footballer became the pivot and amassed 16 goals in 157 matches for ‘The Hornets’ before returning to Derby County on permanent basis in 2013.
