Everything is pointing towards his return to Leicester City.

Just want to say thanks for your efforts these last few months. I think the lad has a lot of potential in the game, and he also has his head set on what he wants. Really appreciate the application in the last few appearances, so I wish you the best of luck for the future, Jak.

Remember the name.. :)

Yes Indeed Nick, he clearly was waving goodbye over by the popside at the end of the game, he's a very young player and hopefully will have a good career ahead of him.

Is this something you have heard?

Think he has played well the last few games, one of only a few to emerge with any credit and I suspect we will see him on FL show plying his trade at a higher level than League 2.

If he is going, I certainly appreciate his efforts. Unlike some loan players, he really seemed committed and wish him luck.

Hector, in answer to your question to Nick, re-read my post.

Thank you, I think we had posted at a similar time so your reply wasn't there when I was typing mine.

That makes sense then, although I didn't notice it myself.

He came over a short while after the team had gone around, he made a number of goodbye gestures towards the section where I stand in the middle.

Really liked the lad. Feel reasonably sure he'll ply his trade higher up in due course and wish we had him for the rest of the season. Good application, attitude and effort and not short on quality. Good luck Jak.

He has gone.

Confirmed here, by the man himself ...

https://mobile.x.com/jakmc4

Like others have said, I wish him well for the future and thought he handled himself exceptionally well during his time here, particularly given that he got a fair amount of flak from a few on the Popside. No doubt, his performances were inconsistent, sometimes brilliant, sometimes poor, but no one should ever forget that the young man is only 18 years old and despite everything he NEVER shirked from anything and always tried to play his way out of everything, never hid, which would have been the easy thing to do. Whether it was the right thing to put such a responsibility on the shoulders of such a young man, as Alan Knill did, is questionable, but regardless the guy stood up to be counted and deserves a lot of credit for that.

Best of luck,Jak. Hope you have a decent career.

Came down for the Exeter match, shining light, the boos when he was subbed said it all. Ran his balls off. A talent. Thanks for giving us your efforts and good luck in the future.

Absolutely spot on CP Gull. Jak has worked hard for the team and never hid, as you say. I am very sorry that he is leaving but with Lathrope and Labadie returning, we are well placed for midfield players. With his attitude and commitment, I'm sure he has a bright future ahead of him. Good luck Jak ..... and thanks.

Yes I'm sorry too he has gone but the experience will have helped him to progress up the football ladder. He certainly gave 100% every game. I shall look out for him in the future.
His parents will be relieved, I guess, that the drive to Torquay (and all the away games too) from Liverpool is over!
