**Jake Brian Bidwell** (born 21 March 1993) is an English professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays as a [left back](/source/Defender_(association_football)) for [Premier League](/source/Premier_League) club [Coventry City](/source/Coventry_City_F.C.).[3] He began his career in the [academy](/source/Everton_F.C._Reserves_and_Academy) at [Premier League](/source/FA_Premier_League) side [Everton](/source/Everton_F.C.) and was capped by [England](/source/England_national_football_team) at age-group level.

## Club career

### Everton

Bidwell grew up in [Southport](/source/Southport) and joined the [academy](/source/Everton_F.C._Reserves_and_Academy) at [Premier League](/source/Premier_League) side [Everton](/source/Everton_F.C.) at age 11.[4] For his first two seasons he played as a [goalkeeper](/source/Goalkeeper_(association_football)).[5] Switching to [left back](/source/Defender_(association_football)), he progressed through the ranks to the club's U18 team,[4] making his debut early in the [2008–09](/source/2008-09_Everton_F.C._season) season.[4] He made 19 [Premier Academy League](/source/Premier_Academy_League) appearances for the U18 team during the [2008–09](/source/Premier_Academy_League_2008%E2%80%9309) season and made his reserve team debut in a 2–0 [Premier Reserve League North](/source/Premier_Reserve_League) defeat to [Manchester United](/source/Manchester_United_F.C._Reserves_and_Academy) on 16 April 2009.[6] Bidwell's progression saw him sign a scholarship deal in the summer of 2009.[7] Bidwell received his maiden call up to the first team for a [dead rubber](/source/Dead_rubber) [Europa League](/source/Europa_League) group stage game at home to [BATE Borisov](/source/FC_BATE_Borisov) on 17 December 2009 and played the full 90 minutes of the 1–0 defeat.[8] With that appearance, he broke the record as Everton's youngest ever player to play in a [European](/source/European_football) game.[9]

Bidwell played solely for the U18s and reserves during the [2010–11](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_Premier_Reserve_League) season, making 21 and 12 appearances respectively and [captained](/source/Captain_(association_football)) the U18s to the Premier Academy League [title](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_Premier_Academy_League).[4][10] For his efforts, Bidwell was named Everton's 2010–11 Academy Player of the Year award.[11] Bidwell received a squad number,[4] but failed to receive a call into a first team during the [2011–12](/source/2011-12_Everton_F.C._season) season and departed on loan for the rest of the campaign on 24 November 2011.[12] He spent almost the entire [2012–13](/source/2012%E2%80%9313_Professional_U21_Development_League) season away on loan and departed the club on 17 June 2013,[9][13] having made just one first team appearance.[14] He made nearly 100 appearances and scored seven goals for the U18 and reserve teams.[4]

### Brentford

On 24 November 2011, Bidwell signed for [League One](/source/EFL_League_One) side [Brentford](/source/Brentford_F.C.) on loan until 8 January 2012 as cover at left back and [left midfield](/source/Midfielder),[12] to fill a void after the departures of [Sam Wood](/source/Sam_Wood_(footballer)) and [Blair Adams](/source/Blair_Adams).[15] He made his debut with a start in a [Football League Trophy](/source/EFL_Trophy) Southern Area semi-final [shootout](/source/Penalty_shootout_(association_football)) defeat to [Barnet](/source/Barnet_F.C.) on 6 December.[16] Bidwell made his league debut in the following game at [Griffin Park](/source/Griffin_Park), helping the Bees to a 2–1 victory over [Hartlepool United](/source/Hartlepool_United_F.C.).[16] Owing to his good form, Bidwell's loan was extended through to the end of the [2011–12](/source/2011-12_Brentford_F.C._season) season.[17] Bidwell provided two [assists](/source/Assist_(football)) for [hat-trick](/source/Hat-trick) hero [Gary Alexander](/source/Gary_Alexander_(footballer)) in a 5–2 win over [Wycombe Wanderers](/source/Wycombe_Wanderers_F.C.) on 28 January 2012.[18] Despite making the left back position his own, the return to fitness of [Pim Balkestein](/source/Pim_Balkestein) late in the season saw Bidwell move into left midfield.[19] He was a virtual ever-present through to the end of the campaign and made 25 appearances during the 2011–12 season.[16]

Bidwell rejoined Brentford on a one-month loan on 29 August 2012 and through repeated extensions of the loan,[19] he remained at Griffin Park for the remainder of the [2012–13](/source/2012-13_Brentford_F.C._season) season.[13] He retained his position as manager [Uwe Rösler](/source/Uwe_R%C3%B6sler)'s first choice left back and was a virtual ever-present throughout the season.[20] Bidwell received the first [red card](/source/Red_card_(football)) of his senior career for two [bookable offences](/source/Yellow_card_(sports)) in a 2–2 draw with Leyton Orient on 22 January 2013.[21] The suspension meant he missed Brentford's 2–2 draw with Premier League neighbours [Chelsea](/source/Chelsea_F.C.) in the fourth round of the season's [FA Cup](/source/FA_Cup).[22] Bidwell made 50 appearances during the 2012–13 season and experienced heartbreak at the end of the campaign,[20] after a missed [Marcello Trotta](/source/Marcello_Trotta) [penalty](/source/Penalty_kick_(association_football)) in the final league game to [Doncaster Rovers](/source/Doncaster_Rovers_F.C.) and defeat in the [play-off final](/source/2013_Football_League_One_play-off_final) to [Yeovil Town](/source/Yeovil_Town_F.C.) consigned Brentford to another season in League One.[23][24]

Bidwell playing for [Brentford](/source/Brentford_F.C.) in 2015

Bidwell signed for Brentford permanently on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee on 17 June 2013.[9] After starting in Brentford's first three league games of the season,[25] Bidwell suffered the first serious injury of his career after taking a knock to his ankle in a 1–1 league draw with [Gillingham](/source/Gillingham_F.C.) on 17 August 2013.[26] He returned to action in a 2–1 Football League Trophy second round defeat to [Peterborough United](/source/Peterborough_United_F.C.) on 8 October and was the first-choice left back through to the end of the season.[25] Bidwell hit a patch of form in January 2014, assisting goals for [Will Grigg](/source/Will_Grigg), [Clayton Donaldson](/source/Clayton_Donaldson) and [Jonathan Douglas](/source/Jonathan_Douglas) in successive wins over [Port Vale](/source/Port_Vale_F.C.), [Walsall](/source/Walsall_F.C.) and Gillingham and won the [Football League Young Player of the Month](/source/Football_League_Young_Player_of_the_Month) award for his efforts.[27][28][29][30] He made his 100th Brentford appearance in a 1–1 draw with [Shrewsbury Town](/source/Shrewsbury_Town_F.C.) on 1 February.[25][31] Towards the end of a successful season in which Brentford clinched automatic promotion to the [Championship](/source/EFL_Championship), Bidwell was named in the [2013–14 League One PFA Team of the Year](/source/Football_League_Awards) and as a substitute in the League One Team of the Year.[32][33] He made 41 appearances during the [2013–14](/source/2013%E2%80%9314_Brentford_F.C._season) season and signed a new three-year contract on 24 July 2014.[12][25]

Bidwell began the [2014–15](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_Brentford_F.C._season) season as an ever-present and on his sixth appearance was named captain of the side for the first time,[34] for a 1–0 [League Cup](/source/EFL_Cup) second round [West London derby](/source/West_London_derby) defeat to [Fulham](/source/Fulham_F.C.).[35] A hand in two of Brentford's goals in a 3–2 victory over [Brighton & Hove Albion](/source/Brighton_%26_Hove_Albion_F.C.) on 13 September earned him a place in the Football League Team of the Week.[36] His ever-present status came to an end after he was sent off in the 37th minute of a 2–1 defeat to fellow play-off contenders [Watford](/source/Watford_F.C.) on 10 February 2015.[35] Upon his return to the team three weeks later, Bidwell celebrated his 150th Brentford appearance when he came on for [Jota](/source/Jota_(Spanish_footballer)) with half an hour remaining of an eventual 1–0 defeat to [Birmingham City](/source/Birmingham_City_F.C.).[35][37] He finished a successful 2014–15 season with 51 appearances, after Brentford were knocked out in the [play-off semi-finals](/source/2015_Football_League_play-offs#Championship) by [Middlesbrough](/source/Middlesbrough_F.C.).[35]

After the retirement of club captain [Kevin O'Connor](/source/Kevin_O'Connor_(footballer%2C_born_1982)) and the departures of stand-in captains [Tony Craig](/source/Tony_Craig) and Jonathan Douglas,[38] Bidwell was named as captain for the [2015–16](/source/2015%E2%80%9316_Brentford_F.C._season) season.[39] On 15 December, Bidwell finally broke his scoring duck on his 186th Brentford appearance, heading in during the second half of a 3–2 defeat to [Cardiff City](/source/Cardiff_City_F.C.).[40] He scored his second goal seven weeks later, with a [free kick](/source/Direct_free_kick) versus [Preston North End](/source/Preston_North_End_F.C.) and a third goal in a 4–1 rout of [Milton Keynes Dons](/source/Milton_Keynes_Dons_F.C.) on 23 April 2016.[41][42] He missed just one match during the season and talks over a contract extension began in May 2016.[42][43] The talks proved fruitless and Bidwell left the club on 1 July 2016.[39] Over the course of four-and-a-half seasons at Griffin Park, Bidwell made 211 appearances and scored three goals.[14]

### Queens Park Rangers

On 1 July 2016, Bidwell joined Championship club [Queens Park Rangers](/source/Queens_Park_Rangers_F.C.) on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[44] He scored his first goal for QPR in a 2–1 [FA Cup](/source/FA_Cup) loss to [Blackburn Rovers](/source/Blackburn_Rovers) on 7 January 2017.[45] He scored his first league goal in a 3–1 win at [Aston Villa](/source/Aston_Villa) on 13 March 2018.[46] On 30 March 2018, with QPR losing 1–0 at [Reading](/source/Reading_F.C.), he had a last-minute penalty saved by [Vito Mannone](/source/Vito_Mannone).[47]

### Swansea City

He scored his first goal for Swansea against [Millwall](/source/Millwall_F.C.) on 3 October 2020.[48] Bidwell helped Swansea to a 4th placed finish in the Championship, featuring in both semi-final legs and the final where Swansea were defeated 2–0 by Brentford. He left Swansea on 17 January 2022, having made 92 appearances and scored 3 goals for the club.[49]
