Justin has established himself as a genuine first-team player over recent seasons. He amassed 36 appearances last season and, in May, signed a new long-term contract. He achieved all this despite starting the campaign as probably the third-choice right-back. Justin has risen through the ranks at the club and become very solid defensively while his pace going forward could be in the genes. His mother was an England international sprinter and his father is an athletics coach. He became the first Englishman to score for Arsenal at Emirates Stadium when he struck against Charlton on January 2, 2007. His brother Gavin is a regular in the Reserves.
