News is coming through that League Two club, YorkCity have signed Barnet striker, Jake Hyde on a three year contract. As Jake is 23 years old, Barnet will be due a compensation payment for him. It has been no secret that Jake has been looking for a move back into league football and he has been on the transfer list since early last season. Jake will be missed at Barnet and I am sure that all Barnet fans will wish Jake all the best for the future and thank him for all his good service at the club. His most memorable performance was probably in the last match at Underhill where his goal in the match against Wycombe looked to have kept the Bees in the Football league for one more season. Sadly, it was not to be.
Hyde first arrived in the summer of 2009 and was signed by Ian Hendon from SwindonTown. Hyde made his Bees’ debut as a substitute in the opening game at LincolnCity.
Hyde made his first start for Barnet a couple of weeks later and scored twice on his full debut in the 2-2 home draw with ShrewsburyTown. A couple of games later, Hyde, after coming on as a substitute, scored a last minute winner at home to highly fancied, Notts County and s few days later scored in the 2-0 win over Millwall in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.
However, despite Hyde’s good early goal scoring record, he failed to hold down a regular first team place, mainly coming off the bench as he did when he scored at Rochdale. After scoring 4 goals in just four starts for the Bees, he only scored two more goals after that, his last goal being a fine header in the 3-1 home win over Chesterfield at Easter
Hyde made 39 first team appearances for the Bees, scoring 6 goals but 20 of those appearances were as a substitute. However, Hyde was voted Barnet Young Player of the Year for 2009/10, but despite this, Hyde was released at the end of the season, a surprise to many fans.
Hyde then went to play in Scottish Junior Football with a club called Lochee United and while with them played as an amateur for SPL1 club, Dundee, scoring 3 goals in two games. However, Dundee couldn’t sign him due to a transfer embargo and so he joined another SPL1 club, Dunfermline.
In the summer of 2011, he re-joined Dundee and scored 6 goals in 30 games before returning to Barnet in the summer of 2012 and signing for the Bees after impressing in pre season friendlies. Jake was joint leading scorer last season with 12 goals in an injury hit season.
Hyde began his career at Swindon but failed to make the first team and had two loan spells at Weymouth in 2008 and 2009. Jake’s career statistics with Barnet are outlined below.
