WELCOME TO THE TUDORS | Jake Tabor

Hemel Hempstead Town Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of exciting forward, Jake Tabor - from League Two side Swindon Town for an undisclosed fee!

Snapped up by Swindon from the non-league scene 2025 from step 5 side Amersham Town, Jake was known as a non-league gem, grabbing himself a whopping 107goals in 72 appearances.

"I am incredibly excited to get Jake on board as a Tudors player. This is one that has been bubbling away in the background and one that we have had to be patient with over the summer, as we have been chasing him ever since I came in and is someone that Lee knows well and thinks very highly of. For us to be able to land him, I think it is a real statement of intent. For us, it is all about having the right 'balance' of different profiles in the final third of the pitch. You've got to have different 'clubs in the bag', so to speak. Jake is a proper 'fox in the box' type. His goal in the game against Hendon is typical of the type of goals that he scores and what he will bring to this side; that knowhow of being in the right place at the right time, and good positioning between the posts."

"We've already got physical #9's in Josh Steele and Remaye Campbell - both of whom have already proven to be a real handful - but myself and Lee felt we needed that bit more of a "killer" in front of goal, and Jake gives us that. You've only got to look at his record; admittedly, at a lower level, but it speaks for itself. He knows where the net is. He's a goal scorer. He got his big move into the Football League with Swindon Town off the back of a superb spell at Amersham Town and while he perhaps didn't get the benefit of regular game time, he is a player that myself and Lee retain a lot of belief in. You've got to remember: he is still only 22.. Part of our job in recruitment is identifying players that we feel we can get more out of potentially than they have done elsewhere, and myself and Lee definitely feel that is the case with Jake. We feel we know how to get the best out of him, and if we can then we've got a match-winner. He will work unbelievably hard for the opportunity, and is another exciting addition to the group." - JOE POPE | HEAD OF RECRUITMENT

After an exciting look already in pre-season, we can't wait to see Jake show us what he can do! Welcome to the Tudors, Jake!
