Jack was our second new signing of the summer 2024, signing from Northern Premier League Play-Off winners Marine. The 6″3 holding midfielder played a vital role with Neil Young’s side, scoring the crucial goal in their 2-1 Play-Off Final victory against Macclesfield. Prior to that fruitful spell, Jack had made over a century of appearances for Southport FC. Whilst at the Sandgrounders, Jack became a fan favourite and an ever-present figure in the middle of the park. In the formative years of his career, Bainbridge was part of the youth academies at Everton, Stoke City, Derby County and Sunderland, making three senior appearances with the latter.
