Jak Alnwick (born 17 June 1993) is an English football goalkeeper who plays for Scottish Premiership side Rangers.
He turned professional at Newcastle United in 2008, and went on to represent England at under-17 and under-18 levels. He spent time on loan at Gateshead in the 2011–12 season, and played eight Premier League games for Newcastle in the 2014–15 season. He joined Bradford City on loan in March 2015, and Port Vale on a free transfer that August. He was sold to Rangers for an undisclosed fee in January 2017.
Alnwick joined Newcastle United from local rivals Sunderland in 2008. He won the Wor Jackie Award for the club's best youth player in 2011.
He was loaned to Conference Premier club Gateshead in September 2011. After a man of the match performance in a 3–2 defeat to Southport at the Gateshead International Stadium on his first team debut his initial four week loan spell was extended until the end of the calendar year by manager Ian Bogie. He made a total of six league and three FA Cup appearances during his loan spell.
Alnwick signed a new two-year contract in July 2013. He made his debut for Newcastle United as a half-time substitute for the injured Rob Elliot in a 2–1 Premier League home win over Chelsea on 6 December 2014 and made five saves throughout the match. Two days later manager Alan Pardew declared that Alnwick was playing for a new contract with his current deal due to expire in the summer. A week later, in his first full start, Newcastle lost 4–1 to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. He made his first League Cup appearance in the quarter-finals at Tottenham Hotspur, and spilled a corner while under no pressure, which allowed Nabil Bentaleb to open the scoring in a 4–0 defeat. In his first start at St James' Park, Alnwick conceded in injury time from Sunderland's Adam Johnson as Newcastle lost the Tyne-Wear derby on 21 December. His final Premier League outing of the 2014–15 season came in a 3–3 draw with Burnley on 1 January. Tim Krul returned from injury for Newcastle's trip to Chelsea ten days later.
