Justin John Tellus (born 26 December 1974) is a Maltese former footballer who played as a defender, featuring in the Maltese Premier League and UEFA Cup. Tellus is currently the Development Manager at Northern Premier League Premier Division team Matlock Town.[1]
Playing career
Born in Valletta, Malta, Tellus moved to England at an early age and lived in South London, where his mother was from. He played for London Schoolboys throughout his youth career, also spending time with various professional clubs across England.
Tellus began his senior career in 1993 with Maltese team Sliema Wanderers. He joined newly-promoted St. George's a year later in 1994 in search of more first team football. Having won St. George's Player of the Year award, Tellus transferred to Maltese Premier League side Birkirkara [2][3][4][5][6] where he spent four years until moving to Valletta [7] in a swap deal for Draško Braunović in 1999.
A season and a half later Tellus returned to Birkirkara for a year before a loan spell at Marsa in 2002. Tellus went on to play for Marsaxlokk [8] and Mqabba in the Maltese First Division before retiring in 2008.
The defender featured in the UEFA Cup for both Birkirkara and Valletta throughout his career.[9][10][11]
Personal life
Tellus returned to live in England after retirement to run his business. He was married to Carol Brooke in 2010.[12]
After spending seven years in retirement Tellus returned to football in 2015 in a Development Manager role as part of the youth set-up at Derbyshire side Matlock Town[13], who have since produced young talent such as Max Hunt[14] and Zak Brunt.[15][16]
