Jake Girdwood-Reich, born on 26 May 2004 (age 22), is an Australian central defender with Motherwell. He wears squad number 3 and has been used mainly through the middle of defence.
His early senior football came with Sydney FC, where his 2023–24 league season gave him his most productive return so far: one goal in 23 appearances. That was a decent grounding rather than a headline act, but it gave him regular first-team minutes at a young age.
At Motherwell in 2026–27, Girdwood-Reich has made five league appearances, one in the League Cup and six in Conference League qualifiers. Across all competitions for the club, he has 12 appearances.
His career to this point is still at the building stage: Australian-developed, tested at Sydney FC, and now getting Scottish and European qualifying experience with Motherwell.
