We are delighted to welcome midfielder Jake Canavan to the Essity. Jake joins us on a season long loan deal from champions TNS, and we thank them for facilitating the move.
Hailing from Liverpool, Jake was briefly with Manchester City’s Academy at a young age. After leaving the Sky Blues, he was invited to Burnley for a trial, which resulted in a three-year spell with the Turf Moor club. The door then opened for Jake to move to The New Saints’ Academy, where in early 2021, as a seventeen-year-old, he signed a professional contract. Whilst with TNS he had had a couple of loan spells with Aberystwyth Town, and then in the second half of last season, went to Caernarfon Town.
Lee Fowler had this to say about his latest arrival, “Jake really needs no introduction, as he will already be well known to followers of the Cymru Premier, having played a lot of games in the competition already at such a young age. He has featured either for his parent club, TNS, or during his loan moves, most recently at Caernarfon in Phase 2 of last season. His calmness on the ball and ability to link the play in midfield will be key to the team, as we look to improve our possession of the ball”.
