Jake Matthew Foley (born 21 September 1994) is an English former cricketer.

Foley was born in Colchester in September 1994. He was educated at Felsted School, before matriculating to Southampton Solent University.[1] Prior to his matriculation, he played club cricket in Essex for Colchester and East Essex, for whom he took 31 wickets for in 2013 with his leg break bowling.[1] Upon moving to university, he joined South Wilts in the Southern Premier Cricket League.[1] He trialled for Hampshire in 2014, making a single appearance in List A one-day match against Sri Lanka A at the Rose Bowl.[2] The match was abandoned after 18 overs, with Foley not being called on to bowl in the Sri Lankan A innings.[3]
