Jake Young

Jake Young made 13 Premiership appearances for St Mirren in 2025-26, with five starts and eight substitute outings. His two league goals point to a supporting striker role rather than a fixed starting place, while one red card and no bookings made his disciplinary record unusual rather than persistently poor. He also scored once in three Scottish Cup appearances, but did not feature in the League Cup.

Young's career path showed a forward still trying to secure a settled role. The transfer trail covered Bradford City, Barrow, Swindon Town, Stevenage and St Mirren, with loans used before permanent moves. His St Mirren spell gave him Premiership minutes, but the starts-to-substitute split suggested he remained a rotation option rather than a central attacking piece.

The transfer history was built around loans and undisclosed fees. Young had loan movement between Bradford City, Barrow and Swindon Town, then permanent undisclosed-fee moves from Bradford City to Stevenage and from Stevenage to St Mirren. That pattern suggests incremental steps rather than a major breakout transfer.
