About

Jack Baker, affectionately known as “Bakes,” wears the number 11 shirt for Devizes Town as a focal point in attack. Joining from Melksham, Jack’s highlight in a Devizes shirt so far was lifting the league title last season. A Manchester United supporter who idolises Wayne Rooney and backs Cristiano Ronaldo in the GOAT debate, Bakes lists Caine Bradbury as the best player he’s played alongside or against. His personal goal for the campaign is sharp and focused: reach an even higher level of physical fitness to keep driving the team forward.

Off the pitch, Bakes keeps things lively – his pre-match routine features a Red Bull and snus, while his hype soundtrack of choice is house music. Beyond football and work, Jack claims to be a great dancer, and he possesses a truly elite hidden talent: he once ate an entire sleeve of Jacob’s crackers without taking a single sip of a drink! When it’s time to unwind, he enjoys a Chinese takeaway or chicken pasta, a cold Stella, and watching Tom Hardy in Legend.

Inside The Dressing Room

Never lacking in confidence, Bakes jokes that he’d name himself for both funniest and most skilful, but humbly concedes funniest to Cal Parsons and most skilful to Dan Demkiv. On the fashion front, he splits the worst-dressed crown between Danny Bowyer and Baz, while calling out “the skipper Swanny” (Matt Swann) as taking the absolute longest to get ready after matches. And when it comes to who is banned from cooking dinner? Marshall gets his vote as the squad’s biggest kitchen disaster.
