To be released by Leicester could probably be seen as a tragic incident, but still life goes on and players tends to find a new path in the game.

The U.23 set up is seen as a development leading to a life elsewhere in the game as Jacob Wakeling now has joined Tyrese Shade at Swindon Town.

Wakeling spent last part of the season at Barrow being involved in 4 league games. He joined Leicester from Alvechurch in 2020 after a short but impressive time in the first team at the non-league club, scoring 5 goals in 7 games.

Good to see that a test at the highest grade did lead to a new chance in league football and best of luck to Jacob as he push for starts at The County Ground.

🤝Swindon Town have completed the signing of former Leicester City striker Jacob Wakeling.
