Swindon Town announces loan signing of Bradford City's Jake Young

Swindon Town has confirmed the season-long loan signing of 22-year-old Bradford City forward Jake Young.

Young started his professional career with fellow League Two side Forest Green Rovers, following stints in his youth career with Guiseley and Sheffield United.

While at Rovers, he made over 50 appearances and scoring nine times. His performance helped secure the team's promotion from the English fourth tier in the 2021-22 season.

Following his successful time at Forest Green Rovers, Young transitioned to Bradford City, where he has so far scored twice in seven appearances.

He has also gained League Two experience, including a loan spell at Barrow last season where he featured in 17 matches.

Upon signing, Young expressed his excitement about the new opportunity.

In an interview with Town’s Media Team, he said, "I'm buzzing to get the deal done. It's a club that I played at previous times and it's always been somewhere that's left an impression on me."

Young fondly recalled his previous encounters with Swindon, particularly when Swindon beat Forest Green a few seasons ago.

The atmosphere created by the fans at the stadium left a lasting impression, he shared, adding, "I remember the fans were just brilliant, the stadium was bouncing and definitely, something that attracted me here. So I'm just delighted to get the deal over the line and can't wait to get started!"
