Jake Carl Speight (born 28 September 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker.
Starting his career working through the Sheffield United youth team, in 2005 he signed with Scarborough, and later Bury. He dropped down to Conference football between 2007 and 2010, playing for Northwich Victoria, Farsley Celtic, Droylsden, and Mansfield Town. In 2010, he was signed by Bradford City, and was quickly sent out on loan to Port Vale, before signing permanently for Wrexham the following year. He returned to Mansfield Town in July 2012, and helped the club to the Conference Premier title in 2012–13. He was loaned out to Alfreton Town in October 2013. He signed with Harrogate Town in July 2014, and returned to Alfreton Town on loan in March 2015 before he was transferred to King's Lynn Town in August 2015.
Speight began his career at Sheffield United, and was loaned out to Conference Premier side Leigh RMI in March 2005 to gain experience, along with Colin Marrison. Leigh were relegated, and Speight did not make it onto the pitch. He joined Scarborough on work experience in August 2005, scoring in both his first two appearances for the club, and impressing manager Nick Henry. He was allowed to join the "Seadogs" permanently, and therefore never made an appearance for the "Blades". Three months later he switched to Bury, of League Two. On 13 January 2006, he scored his first and second league goals, in a 3–2 victory over Torquay United. He finished the season with two goals in seventeen appearances. He made another seventeen appearances for Bury in 2006–07, mostly as a substitute, and failed to find the net all season. He was released by the club in June 2007.
