Powerful, versatile striker
Jaden’s development through the Academy since signing aged eight saw him rewarded with a scholarship in July 2022.
Capable across the front line, with a natural ability to link the play as well as score goals, the 2022/23 campaign saw Jaden progress to the Under-18s squad.
Following a season hindered by injury but included highlights across the U18 Premier League, Premier League 2 and FA Youth Cup, Heskey returned to the Under-18s squad as captain for the 2023/24 season.
The striker made 36 appearances, in various positions, across the Under-18s and EDS competitions and scored 11 goals.
Heskey played 90 minutes and scored in City’s 4-0 triumph over Leeds United in the FA Youth Cup final at the Etihad in May 2024.
Ahead of the 2024/25 season, Heskey travelled on the first-team pre-season tour to the United States. Now, he will be looking to play a key role for the EDS.
