Lachlan Robert Tua Jackson (born 12 March 1995) is an Australian footballer who plays as a central defender for the Newcastle Jets.

Club Career

Jackson made his senior professional debut against the Melbourne Victory, entering the match as a substitute for the fatigued Luke DeVere in the 84th minute, a game which the Roar lost 2-1. Jackson continued his playing by being a starting player in the penultimate clash against the Victory at Suncorp Stadium, and proved to be a bulwark in defence despite the Roar going down 1-0 in spite of a controversial penalty. He was again chosen for the terminal match of the season, a clash against the Newcastle Jets again at Suncorp Stadium. Kofi Danning opened the scoring in the 71st minute, but the Roar couldn't prevent Edson Montaño from equalising. In the dying minutes of the match, Jet's custodian Ben Kennedy saved a shot from youthful winger Shannon Brady, yet Jackson was there to collect the rebound and finished clinically into the left corner.

On the 13th of July 2015, the Newcastle Jets secured the signature of Jackson on a one-season deal.
