Jack Kirk Stretton (born 6 September 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Woking on loan from EFL League One club Stockport County.[4]

Club career

[edit]

Derby County

[edit]

Stretton made his debut for Derby County as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Wycombe Wanderers on 28 November 2020.[5]

On 8 March 2021, Stretton joined National League side Stockport County on loan for a month.[6] On 9 March 2021, Stretton came off the bench to score on his debut in 5–0 away win against Solihull Moors.[7]

He scored his first goal for Derby in a 2–1 loss at Peterborough United on 14 August 2021.[8]

On 4 August 2022, Stretton joined EFL League Two club Carlisle United on a season-long loan deal.[9]

Stockport County

[edit]

On 7 January 2023, Stretton was recalled from his loan at Carlisle[10] to allow him to return to Stockport County for an undisclosed fee on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[11]

In July 2023, manager Dave Challinor revealed that Stretton had suffered an ACL injury and would therefore miss the majority of the 2023–24 season.[12]

On 27 September 2024, Stretton joined National League side Oldham Athletic on a short-term loan until January 2025.[13] Having struggled for game time, he was recalled on 24 October 2024,[14] joining Woking on a one-month loan the following week.[15]
