Jake Girdwood-Reich

Girdwood-Reich has made 12 Premiership appearances in 2026–27, with eight starts and four appearances as substitute; he has also featured in six Conference League Qualifiers matches and one League Cup match. The split between starts and bench outings suggests a central defender used in rotation and trusted across domestic and European qualifiers.

His season average rating stands at 6.78, with a season-high of 7.19 and a season-low of 5.95 – a 1.24 spread that indicates generally steady performances with occasional dips in form.

Jake Girdwood-Reich's senior career moved from a transfer to Sydney FC in July 2021 to a fee move to St. Louis City for 680,000 in July 2024, a loan to Auckland FC in September 2025 and a transfer to Motherwell for 520,000 in July 2026. The sequence covers four senior clubs and records successive international moves from Australia to the United States, a short New Zealand spell and then to Scotland.

The moves trace a clear pattern of international transfers across Australia, the United States, New Zealand and Scotland.
