Jack Kingdon left United in 2025
Kingdon left Manchester United in June 2025, writing at the time: “After nearly 5 years at this club, it is my time to move onto the next chapter in my career. The experiences this club has given me I will always be grateful for.”
The young defender signed with Cardiff City’s development squad, but failed to make a first team appearance for the Welsh side.
He is now looking to reboot his career with Yeovil Town, who are competing in the National League.
Kingdon, 20, previously played in the division on loan at Rochdale, making 16 appearances.
Kingdon’s United spell
Manchester United signed Jack Kingdon from Morecambe in late 2020 when the defender was 15.
Kingdon made his debut for Manchester United’s under-18s when he was still 15, and played a key role in the team winning the youth title in 2023/24. He also captained the side.
He was called up to train with Manchester United’s first team in April 2024 under Erik ten Hag amid a defensive injury crisis.
Kingdon is also a Scotland youth international, representing his country up to under-20 level.
