Jake Young

Jake Young of St Mirren was born in Huddersfield, England on 22 July 2001 (age 25).

Jake Young, born on 22 July 2001 (age 25), is an English striker with St Mirren, where he wears the number 20 shirt. His current market value is around £191,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came at Bradford City in 2022-23, when he scored two goals in seven appearances. That remains a modest return, but it gave him a clearer footing before his career became much more closely tied to St Mirren.

The main substance of Young’s senior football has come in Paisley. Across two seasons with St Mirren, he has made 26 league appearances and scored twice. In 2026-27, he has made 13 league appearances, along with one League Cup appearance, three Scottish Cup outings, one goal in that competition, and one appearance in the Premiership play-offs.

Young’s career so far is that of a developing striker who has built most of his senior record at St Mirren, with Bradford City providing the clearest earlier note. His next step is simply to turn regular involvement into more end product.
