Jake Eastwood (born 3 October 1996) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Kilmarnock, on loan from Sheffield United.[3]

Career

Youth

Born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, Eastwood joined Sheffield United's youth academy at the age of 10.[4] In his youth, he has spent time on loan with Sheffield,[5] Gainsborough Trinity and Mickleover Sports for first team experience.[6]

Sheffield United

In April 2016, Eastwood was one of four youth players to sign professional terms with Sheffield United.[7] He started the 2017–18 season as deputy to loanee Jamal Blackman, who himself was signed to cover for injured first team keeper Simon Moore.[6] On 9 August 2017, Eastwood made his senior first-team debut in the Football League Cup in a 3–2 home victory over Walsall at Bramall Lane.[8] He started again in the Blades' next tie in the League Cup which ended in a 4–1 home defeat to the visitors Leicester City of the Premier League, which knocked the Blades out of the competition.[9]

In November 2017, Eastwood signed a new long-term contract, committing to the Blades until 2020.[4] He then joined Chesterfield on an emergency loan.[10]

On 5 July 2019, Eastwood joined Scunthorpe United on a season-long loan deal.[3] After injuries to Sheffield United goalkeepers Simon Moore and Michael Verrips, he was recalled by his parent club in January 2020.[11] As a result, he was on the bench for their Premier League game against West Ham United.[12]

On 30 July 2020, Eastwood signed for Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a six-month loan.[13] He made his debut on 1 August 2020, in Kilmarnock's opening game of the season, away to Hibernian, however he had to be substituted at half-time due to injury.[14]
