Javaun Splatt (born 18 February 2001) is a British Virgin Islands footballer who currently plays for Hythe Town and the British Virgin Islands national team.
As a youth, Splatt came up through the youth system of Dulwich Hamlet.[1] From there, he joined the academy of Derby County on a two-year scholarship deal in 2018. The following year, he made his senior debut on loans at Mickleover and Carshalton Athletic.[2][3][4] In February 2020, Splatt went on a trial with EFL Championship club Barnsley which included a training match appearance against Sheffield Wednesday. He was then loaned from Derby County to the Barnsley's under-23 team.[5][6] He was not offered a new contract when his deal with Derby County expired in summer 2020.[7][8]
Following his departure from Derby County, Splatt signed for National League South club Tonbridge Angels in September 2020.[9] After making over a dozen appearances for the Angels, the player joined Whitehawk in June 2021.[10][11] He scored nineteen goals across all competitions for Whitehawk that season and earned a return to the National League South the following year, joining Worthing.[12] He remained dual-registered with Whitehawk that season to gain more playing time after being cup-tied to the club earlier in the season.[13] The forward made his full debut with Worthing on 27 February 2022, starting in a league match against Concord Rangers.[14]
Following his departure from Worthing, Splatt had a two-month stint with Billericay Town before moving on to Leatherhead.[15][16] After signing a deal with Ramsgate in summer 2022, he departed the club without ever playing a match after he received a more lucrative offer to return to Whitehawk FC where he had success the previous season.[17][18] He made his first appearance after his return in a 2022–23 FA Trophy draw with Burgess Hill Town in October of that year.[19]
In summer 2023, Splatt departed Whitehawk for the second time, subsequently having spells with Sittingbourne and Sheppey United.[20][21] During his first season with Sheppey United, the player scored on his league home debut, an eventual 2–2 draw with Herne Bay.[22] He then returned to Sheppey United the following season after finishing his first campaign with the club in top form.[23]
In July 2024, Splatt joined Clitheroe of the Northern Premier League, despite being announced as a new signing for Bowers & Pitsea earlier that month.[20][24] His performances for the club during the 24/25 season included a hat-trick in a 4–2 victory over Wythenshawe Town in August 2024.[25] In December 2024, Splatt moved to Hythe Town as the club tried to boost its roster to avoid relegation from the Isthmian League South East Division. He made his league debut for the club on 8 December in a 0–3 loss to Three Bridges.[26]
Born in London, Splatt was called up to the British Virgin Islands national team for a friendly against Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Dominica and Jamaica in May 2025.[27][28]
Splatt is the twin brother of Jamaica international Delano McCoy-Splatt.[1][29]
