Jake Young

Jake Young has been used more as a rotation striker than a fixed starter for St Mirren in the 2025-26 Premiership, with 13 appearances split between five starts and eight outings from the bench. One league goal is a limited return for a centre-forward, while one red card and no yellow cards point to a small but notable disciplinary blemish. His Scottish Cup record is more efficient, with one goal in three appearances.

Young’s career path points to a forward still trying to turn spells of opportunity into a settled role. The available record shows moves through Bradford City, Barrow, Swindon Town, Stevenage and now St Mirren, with loans and returns featuring prominently before his switch to Scotland. At 24, the trajectory is not yet one of clear consolidation.

The transfer history is defined by loans first, then permanent moves for undisclosed fees. Young returned to Bradford City from loan spells at Barrow and Swindon Town before moving to Stevenage in August 2024, then on to St Mirren in January 2026. The St Mirren move gives him a Scottish Premiership platform after a sequence of shorter-term moves.
