Jake arrived at Skegness Town as a young goalkeeper with plenty of experience already under his belt, and one who has shown a real desire to continue developing and progressing his career.

His footballing journey has seen him gain valuable experience across the non-league game. Jake has represented clubs including Retford FC, Swallownest, Heanor Town, and Ilkeston Town, giving him a good grounding in senior football from a young age. His time with Swallownest saw him regularly feature between the posts, while he also gained further experience with Heanor Town during the 2025/26 campaign.

Jake's development has also seen him step into opportunities at a higher level. Earlier this 2026, he attracted attention after being given an opportunity to train with Manchester City's Elite Development Squad, following an impressive spell in grassroots and non-league football.

He has also represented UCFB in university football, where he enjoyed an impressive campaign, with reports highlighting a number of clean sheets and strong performances.

There is plenty to like about Jake's journey so far. At just 21, he has already experienced different environments, different levels of football and the demands that come with competing for a goalkeeper's shirt. His ambition and willingness to learn should make him an exciting addition to the Skegness Town squad.
