25 year-old defender or midfield player who joined United on a permanent deal in September 2020 for his third spell at the club having last joined in November 2019 on dual registration from Wealdstone, four years after originally arriving on a youth loan from Reading where he was a second year scholar. Jake was originally a full-back but seems to have found his niche as a midfielder since leaving Reading for Wealdstone in the summer of 2018. He has a lot of pace and is a powerful, no nonsense player who whips crosses in and has added goalscoring to his game as well. He has also had loan spells with Guiseley and Dagenham & Redbridge while at Reading. Has represented Scotland at under-17 level, scoring on his debut against Belgium with his first touch and at under-21 level. Having missed all of the last campaign after getting injured early on in United's opening game, Jake will be looking to complete his rehabilitation and get back to doing what he does best as soon as possible this term.
