Goalkeeper Jakob (No.13 in the image) has featured in pre-season for the Seagulls after playing for Nailsea & Tickenham last campaign, having previously played for Mangotsfield United’s first team since the age of 16.

Oli Jenkins (No.14 in the image) played for the club last campaign after joining from Yate Town, and following loans with Yate and Tiverton Town, he quickly found his way into the matchday squad during the second half of the season as he made 15 appearances.

21-year-old King (No.22 in the image) has spent the majority of his senior career with Clevedon Town, where he has made over 100 appearances and been a regular across the last four seasons since playing for their under-18s. In the 2024/2025 season, King scored 34 and assisted 18 in 52 appearances for the Western League Premier side before making the step up.

On the three signings, Manager Scott Bartlett said:

“Jakob has trained well with Max all last season and will be part of the squad this season.

 

“Oli developed really well last season and we are excited to be working with him again this year. He has a cracking attitude, and is going to be a good player.

 

“Freddie is one we have looked at for a few years, we think after the experience of his time at Clevedon he is now ready to make the step up.

 

“He (Freddie) has had what I would call his first ‘proper’ pre-season and will continue that by going out on loan for additional games in the near future”.

All three players are available for sponsorship – please email admin@wsmafc.co.uk to enquire about their availability.

Everyone at Weston-super-Mare AFC would like to welcome Jakob and Freddie to the club as well as welcoming Oli back, and we wish them all the best when pulling on the Seagulls shirt for this coming season.
