Johnathan James Herd (born 3 October 1989) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for St Ives Town.
Herd made his debut for Southend United away at Telford United, in the 2–2 draw in the FA Cup first round on 8 November 2008 .[2][3]
He was in the Southend United starting line up for the FA Cup third-round game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Southend's equaliser came from a Herd long throw, which was inadvertently flicked on by Ricardo Carvalho for Peter Clarke to score.[citation needed] In May 2011, he was one of five players told they were to be released by the club.[4]
On 11 August 2011, Herd signed for Ebbsfleet United, and in early September he scored his first career goal in the away tie at Kidderminster Harriers in a 2–2 draw. Herd's appearances were less regular in the second half of the season due to the form of Joe Howe and he was released by Ebbsfleet at the end of the season.[5] Following his release, Herd signed for Bishop's Stortford on a one-year deal.
On 20 January 2017, it was confirmed that Herd had joined St Neots Town.[6] Following financial issues at the club, Herd signed for Southern League Division One Central side Peterborough Sports in February 2019.[7] In March 2022, Herd joined Mildenhall Town on loan.[8] Herd achieved two promotions with Peterborough Sports as they reached the National League North during his final season.[9]
In July 2022, Herd joined St Ives Town.[10]
