Jack Langston, a dynamic and skilful midfielder, has captured the hearts of Chasetown FC fans with his incredible on-field prowess and dedication to the game. Born on April 17, 1995, in Stafford, England, Langston's football journey is one marked by determination and hard work.

Langston's career kicked off at Etching Hill Lions, then moved on quickly to sign for Stoke FC at the Age of 9. He then signed for Rocester Youth Team at 16 and played there until signing for Burton Albion Youth Team just before his 18th birthday. Joining Chasetown was a pivotal moment in his career, as he seamlessly integrated into the team's style of play and showcased exceptional teamwork, vision, and ball control. His ability to dictate the tempo of the game and contribute both defensively and offensively made him a linchpin of Chasetown's midfield.

Langy's journey from youth football to becoming a key player for Chasetown FC serves as an inspiring example of what dedication and talent can achieve. As he continues to evolve as a player and contribute to Chasetown's success, fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in his footballing story. Earlier this week, Jack took a few moments to speak to our media team and answer a few questions:

How did you first get involved with Chasetown FC, and what motivated you to join the team?
I was first involved with Chasetown really as a fan watching my old man play for Chasetown as a young kid, causing havoc kicking a ball around in the clubhouse and on the pitch with Uncle Ted Highfield looking after me. When the opportunity came to play for Chasetown, it was a no-brainer for me; it’s a great club with brilliant people involved.

Can you share a memorable experience or match that stands out to you during your time at Chasetown FC?
There are a few memorable experiences for me, the Boldmere game last season when I scored 4, but the one that sticks out is the Halesowen playoff semifinal. The occasion, the atmosphere, and winning in the last minute by scoring in front of our fans was phenomenal, but the celebrations with family, friends and teammates top all of that after the game was the icing on the cake. It was brilliant.

How do you balance your commitments to the team with your personal life and other responsibilities?
I’m quite lucky with regard to work commitments in that I work around the corner from the ground, so I can get away a little bit earlier if needed for away games. Sometimes I do have the ‘occasional’ holiday in the season, but that’s normally my partner's fault - I like to say haha!

What role does team camaraderie and chemistry play in the success of Chasetown FC?
It’s a massive role in any dressing room, but with a dressing room like we’ve had for the past few years, it's huge. We are a great unit, the best bunch I’ve had the pleasure of playing with, and when things get tough, the lads always get together and push each other through.

How do you mentally prepare for matches, particularly when facing tough opponents or challenging situations on the pitch?
I always prepare the same way for every game, no matter who the opponent or the situation. I’m very superstitious; every night before a game, I have fajitas. FAJITAA FRIDAYYYY! Then on a game day, I’m up early, walking the dogs, and then I have leftover fajita chicken, a bottle of Buxton water, a Galaxy Bar and some Jelly Babies.

Could you share your favourite Chasetown FC moment or goal that you've been a part of?
Apart from Halesowen, I think Telford last year in the FA Cup. My first one back from my knee operation. However, this might well change when Jordan Evans FINALLY scores a Chasetown goal after about 3 years of trying and 2000 shots.

What aspirations do you and the team have for the future, both in terms of personal development and team achievements?
We are always looking to succeed and do our best. Once again, we will be pushing for playoffs/promotion again this year, but it would also be nice to win a trophy as well.

What are your views on all of the major developments happening at Chasetown FC?
I think it’s great, not just for the club but also for the community. The club is going in the right direction with the new pitch and a few other additions to the ground, which will not only impact the first team, but the youth teams and our local community creating more opportunities.

How do you unwind and find relaxation or leisure time amidst your busy schedule?
HOLIDAYS. No better relaxation! Just kidding, I like to chill out with Jess (my fiancée), my family and friends, watch a bit of sport and have some nice food.

What advice would you give to young aspiring footballers who look up to you and dream of playing for Chasetown FC or in non-league football?
The main thing is to go out there and enjoy yourself, always play with a smile on yourself and work hard.

What do you believe sets Chasetown FC apart from other non-league football clubs? It’s a great club to be around, not just as a player but as a neutral. It’s a brilliant family and community club who are always looking to do the best for everyone involved. Mick Joiner is one of the most respected blokes in football, and he’s done wonders for Chasetown FC. Now Steve Jones has come in and is carrying that on and taking the club forward in a great way. You can see the improvements already around the ground, and once it’s all been finished, it will be an even better club to be around.
