Jake Dane Forster-Caskey (born 25 April 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Charlton Athletic.

He is the son of former professional player Darren Caskey and is the stepson of the former striker Nicky Forster.[3] Forster-Caskey has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-21 level.

Club career

Brighton & Hove Albion

Forster-Caskey joined Brighton's youth team in 2007. On 30 April 2010, he was offered a scholarship deal with Brighton & Hove Albion.[4] It was later revealed that Forster-Caskey rejected interest from Premier League clubs Arsenal and Aston Villa before signing with Brighton.[5]

The following day, Forster-Caskey was named as an unused substitute during the 0–0 draw away to Milton Keynes Dons.[6] After a man-of-the-match performance during the Sussex Senior Cup final, whilst scoring twice during a 4–0 victory over Bognor Regis Town,[7][8] Forster-Caskey was once again named as a substitute for Brighton's final game of the 2009–10 season against Yeovil Town.[9] During the match, he became the youngest player to feature in the Brighton first team when he made his debut as a substitute in the 76th minute.[3][10] Forster-Caskey made his second substitute appearance for Brighton during the 3–0 defeat to Stoke City in the 5th round of the FA Cup on 19 February 2011.[11] He made his full first-team debut, and scored his first Brighton goal, during the Seagulls' 3–0 win over Southampton on 2 January 2012. He scored the opening goal for Brighton, and was named Man of the Match.[12] In his next game, Forster-Caskey again scored and received Man of the Match in an FA Cup tie with Wrexham.[13] In all, Forster-Caskey made 6 appearances during the 2011–12 season, scoring 2 goals. On 21 June 2012, Forster-Caskey signed a new deal, keeping him at the club until 2015.[14]

Oxford United (loan)

In July 2012, Forster-Caskey signed a six-month loan deal with League Two club Oxford United.[15] He scored on his debut, a 20-yard left-footed strike, in a 2–0 win over Bristol Rovers.[16] He scored his second goal on 8 September, in a 4–2 defeat at home to Exeter City. His third and final goal for Oxford came against Wimbledon, a 20-yard free kick into the top corner.[17] In total he made 16 league appearances for Oxford before his loan spell concluded on 1 January 2013.

Milton Keynes Dons (loan)

On 22 September 2015, Forster-Caskey joined Championship side Milton Keynes Dons on an initial five-week emergency loan deal.[18] On 26 September 2015 he made his debut for the club in the 1–3 home defeat to Derby County.

On 8 January 2016, Forster-Caskey rejoined the club on loan for the remainder of the 2015–16 season.[19] On 13 February 2016, he scored his first goal for the club, scoring direct from a free-kick in a 0–1 away win against Derby County.[20]

Rotherham United (loan)

He joined Rotherham United on 20 July 2016 on a season-long loan deal.[21] The deal was mutually terminated by Rotherham and parent club Brighton on 5 January 2017, after he had made seven appearances for the Millers.[22]

Charlton Athletic

On 5 January 2017, Forster-Caskey joined Charlton Athletic, signing a 2+1⁄2-year contract.[23]

He was out of the squad for most of the 2018–19 season with an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury. He was offered a new contract by Charlton at the end of the 2018–19 season.[24] He signed a new one-year contract in June 2019.[25]

On 5 July 2021, Forster-Caskey signed a new one-year deal with the club ahead of the 2021-22 season.[26]

International career

Forster-Caskey has represented the England under-16s, England under-17s, England under-18s and England under-20s national sides. He was announced as a member of the squad to feature in the annual Nordic under-17s tournament, commencing during August 2010. Forster-Caskey captained the England side as they recorded a 5–0 success over Finland in the first game of the tournament where he also scored his first international goal.[27] He was also involved in the FA International Tournament, where he started in a 4–0 win over Australia, before substitute appearances in the 2–2 draw against Turkey and a 3–1 victory against Portugal.

During April 2011, Forster-Caskey was announced in the 18-man squad to represent England at the 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship in Serbia, commencing on 3 May.[28] He made three appearances in the tournament for England before they were defeated 1–0 by Holland in the semi-final.[29]

Forster-Caskey was also selected to represent England under-17s at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico.[30] England won their group and reached the quarter-finals, where they lost 3–2 to Germany.[31]

During October 2011, Forster-Caskey was selected for the England under-18 national side for a friendly against Slovakia,[32] where he played 45 minutes before being substituted for Jordan Lussey at half-time.[33]

Forster-Caskey was named in the initial 35-man squad for the 2013 Fifa Under 20 World Cup on 17 May 2013 by manager Peter Taylor,[34] but failed to make the final 21-man squad selected on 28 May.

During May 2014, Jake and fellow Brighton teammate Solomon March were called up to the under-21 squad for the U21 qualifier versus Wales and the 2014 Toulon Tournament.[35] Jake made his debut for the U21s coming on as a late substitute in the 3–1 victory against Wales.[36]

Personal life

Until February 2011, Forster-Caskey was simply known as Jake Caskey before altering his surname to Forster-Caskey in homage to his stepfather Nicky Forster. In a brief explanation, Forster-Caskey stated "I did it out of respect for my stepdad – because he has been a great role model and parent to me. I have lived with him for the last ten years and he has been a huge influence on me."[37]
