[edit] Career

Jackson was a FA Cup winner with Everton in 1995 and was voted Norwich City player of the year in 1998.

He initially moved to Wigan on a month's loan from Norwich in November 2001 and would go on to form a central defensive partnership with Jason De Vos that was central to winning the Second Division Championship in the 2002–03 season.

After De Vos left Wigan for Ipswich Town, Jackson again formed another sound partnership with Ian Breckin and helped Wigan to their second promotion in three years when they finished runners-up in the Coca-Cola Championship in 2004–05. Following the signing of Stephane Henchoz, Jackson was not in the Wigan first team for the start of their debut Premiership debut season, and in their second season, he was also playing understudy to new signings Fitz Hall and Andy Webster. He was an unused substitute in Wigan's League Cup final defeat in 2006.

Jackson signed for Watford on 24 May 2007, after rejecting a new one-year contract with Wigan.[1]

He spent a month on loan at Blackpool during late October and early November 2007. Watford recalled him on November 5 after an injury to Jay DeMerit.[2]
