Jacob Oliver "Jake" Sedgemore (born 20 October 1978 in Wolverhampton) is an English footballer who plays for AFC Wulfrunians. He previously played in the Football League for Shrewsbury Town and Bury. His brother Ben was also a professional footballer.
Sedgemore began his footballing career at home in the Midlands with West Bromwich Albion, whom he joined as a trainee in August 1997. In December of that year, he spent a short loan spell with non-league side Hednesford Town. After impressing, the deal was made permanent in October 1998.
Renowned for his footballing versatility, he actually spent part of his career with the club playing as a goalkeeper, a far cry from his preferred and arguably specialized position of midfield. He spent just under three years with Hednesford, making around 40 appearances before leaving at the end of the 2000-01 season when they were relegated. He signed briefly for Hereford United making only two appearances in a defensive role, before moving on to join Northwich Victoria early in the season.
He played more than 60 matches at Victoria, before joining Shrewsbury Town in July 2003, and was part of the team that won promotion from the Conference back to the Football League in the 2003-04 season. After making 70 appearances for the Shropshire club, he was released in the summer of 2005. Despite interest from a number of clubs, he opted to join Bury, where he spent a rather unsuccessful six months.
