About the player
Jacob Bickerstaff came through Wrexham's academy after a spell at Liverpool's youth setup between 2015 and 2017, returning to Wrexham before breaking into the senior squad in 2019. Rather than being pitched straight into first-team football, he was sent out on a series of loans that took him through Caernarfon Town, Nantwich Town, Accrington Stanley and Altrincham. The loan at Nantwich Town in 2022 stands out: in just twelve appearances he scored ten goals.
His run in the FA Trophy with Wrexham in the 2022–23 season also left a mark. He scored in the Third Round against Scunthorpe United, then struck twice in a Fourth Round draw with Altrincham that Wrexham ultimately lost on penalties. Wrexham's promotions up the League Two and League One ladder since have moved the club's cup football to the EFL Trophy instead.
Bickerstaff joined Cheltenham Town on a season-long loan in August 2025. He racked up 26 league appearances for the club in his permanent stint.
Born in Liverpool, Bickerstaff qualifies to play for Wales as well as England, though he has not yet earned senior caps for either country.
