Jake Young, born on 22 July 2001 (age 25), is an English striker whose senior career is tied most clearly to St Mirren. There is no Celtic angle here, and no need to invent one.
He first comes into sharper focus at Bradford City, where the 2022-23 league season brought his most productive return: two goals in seven appearances. It was a modest sample, but it remains the clearest early marker in his senior record.
St Mirren have been the main part of the story. Across two seasons he has made 19 league appearances and scored twice for the Paisley club, enough to make that spell the one which frames his career more than the passing stops around it.
In 2026-27, Young has made six league appearances for St Mirren, along with one League Cup outing, three Scottish Cup appearances and one goal in that competition, plus a Premiership play-off appearance. His market value is around £191,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Young’s career to this point is straightforward: an English forward with a brief productive spell at Bradford City, but defined mainly by his games and goals at St Mirren.
