James Jon Berry-McNally (born 10 December 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward or striker for Chesterfield.
Born in Wigan, Berry signed scholarship forms with his hometown club Wigan Athletic in December 2016 after being released by Liverpool.[2] In November 2017, he was an unused substitute in a 4–0 defeat against Accrington Stanley in the EFL Trophy, but made no first team appearances for the club.
In November 2019, Berry joined Hull City after the club agreed a compensation deal with Wigan.[3] On 11 February 2020, he made his senior debut as a substitute in a 3–0 defeat against Blackburn Rovers.
After his release from Hull, he joined Macclesfield on loan after signing for Altrincham.[4] He signed a two-year contract to make his move to Macclesfield permanent in March 2022, becoming the club's record signing.[5] He scored 18 goals in his 34 appearances during the 2021-22 season, including a brace in a 4-0 win against Ashton Athletic which secured the North West Counties Premier Division title on 12 March 2022.[6] Berry's second season with the Silkmen was even more prolific as, despite being injured from February to April, his 24 league goals won him the NPL West Division Golden Boot.[7] Berry's performances contributed to Macclesfield winning the league title and consecutive promotions. His final competitive match for the club was a 3-1 win against Mossley in which he scored.[8]
On 10 August 2023, Berry joined National League club Chesterfield on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[9]
