Jermaine Samuel Hylton (born 28 June 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays for Guiseley on loan from Swindon Town as a striker.

Career

In 2009 Hylton was in the final of Sky1's TV talent show Wayne Rooney's Street Striker.[2]

On 22 December 2014 Hylton was invited to play in a professional development game for Championship outfit Birmingham City by manager Gary Rowett against Manchester City. Hylton scored one goal and had a hand in the other two as he helped the development team to a 3-2 victory.[3]

On 3 January 2015 it was reported by Swindon Advertiser that Redditch United started to consider a FA complaint over Swindon's approach to their frontman. The paper stated that Redditch claimed Swindon had broken the 7 day approach until they were allowed to sign the player.[4]

On 7 January 2015 Hylton signed for Swindon Town on a 2 12-year contract with the club despite Redditch's complaint to the FA over their "illegal" approach.[5] On 12 January, Hylton made his first appearance for Swindon coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for Andy Williams in a 3-0 win against Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena.[6] On 11 April 2015 he went on to score his first goal and the winning goal against Peterborough [7]
