Jake Brian Bidwell (born 21 March 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left back for Queens Park Rangers. He began his career in the academy at Premier League side Everton and was capped by England at age-group level.
Bidwell grew up in Southport and joined the academy at Premier League side Everton at age 11. For his first two seasons he played as a goalkeeper. Switching to left back, he progressed through the ranks to the club's U18 team, making his debut early in the 2008–09 season. He made 19 Premier Academy League appearances for the U18 team during the 2008–09 season and made his reserve team debut in a 2–0 Premier Reserve League North defeat to Manchester United on 16 April 2009. Bidwell's progression saw him sign a scholarship deal in the summer of 2009. Bidwell received his maiden call up to the first team for a dead rubber Europa League group stage game at home to BATE Borisov on 17 December 2009 and played the full 90 minutes of the 1–0 defeat. With that appearance, he broke the record as Everton's youngest ever player to play in a European game.
