Biographical Text

Jake Caprice joined Exeter City from Tranmere Rovers in 2020 and played in thirty-four league games when City won promotion in 2022. After remaining with the club for a third season he joined Burton Albion before a further move to Oldham Athletic.

Jake was a member of the Crystal Palace academy from the age of eleven and, after progressing through the youth system, signed a one-year professional deal in 2011. He was subsequently released by Palace at the end of 2011/12 and signed for Blackpool in July 2012 but was soon back in London in November 2012 on loan at Dagenham & Redbridge before heading in the opposite direction to sign another loan deal with St Mirren in August 2013. After just six league matches for the Buddies, Jake returned to Blackpool ahead of a third loan to Tamworth in March 2014.

When released by the Seasiders in May 2014, he had not made a single first-team appearance for the Lancashire club and dropped into the
National League with Lincoln City for whom he played 37 league games before having two good seasons at Woking where he made over eighty league appearances. This led to a move to Leyton Orient in July 2017 followed by a return to the EFL with Tranmere Rovers in July 2018 where, in two seasons, he had 64 league outings including the successful 2018/19 play-off campaign when Rovers won promotion to League One.

He then joined Exeter City in August 2020 and, over the next two terms, made sixty-eight league appearances for the Grecians including starting 29 times (plus five substitute appearances) during the 2021/22 promotion season when he also scored his first career goal against Carlisle United in November 2021.

Staying for a third season he made a
further 29 league starts (plus eight off the bench) in League One during 2022/23 - with a goal in December 2022 against Sheffield Wednesday - before agreeing terms with Burton Albion in July 2023 along with Jamal Blackman, Kegs Chauke and Rekeem Harper who he had played alongside at Exeter.

Starting the season in the Brewers' first-team, Jake played less-frequently towards the end of the 2023/24 campaign as he ultimately tallied 17 league starts (plus nine from the bench) prior to leaving the club at the end of the season. Spending the summer seeking a club, he eventually signed for Oldham Athletic in August 2024 where he was reunited with his former Tranmere manager Micky Mellon .
