Jack Aitchison

Jack Aitchison of Bristol Rovers was born in Fauldhouse, Scotland on 5 March 2000 (age 26).

Jack Aitchison, born 5 March 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish central attacking midfielder with Bristol Rovers. He came through at Celtic as a trainee, giving him an early link with the club before most of his senior career was built elsewhere.

He left Celtic in October 2020 for Barnsley, then worked his way through spells involving Motherwell, Exeter City and Bristol Rovers. Barnsley proved his most productive league period, with three goals in 20 appearances in 2022-23.

By 2026-27, Aitchison was back at Bristol Rovers, making six League Two appearances and one League Cup appearance. His career has been shaped by that early Celtic grounding, but his senior football has largely been spent trying to settle and contribute in England’s lower divisions.
