Having been with Newcastle United since he was a youngster, Jude emerged through the club’s Academy system, before moving up into the ranks of The Premier League side’s Under 23’s squad. Making over 30 appearances in a black and white shirt, across both the Premier League Under-18’s and Under 23’s in Premier League 2, the highly regarded youngster was offered a two-year contract at St James’ Park at the end of last season. Jude decided against the offer, in favour of a move to the USA, where he joined Charleston College in South Carolina.

Jude is a strong thorn in the Dunston back line, and can be described as a no-nonsense centre half, willing to put his body on the line for the club. He continues his development at the club in the 2023/24 season, and has come on leaps and bounds since his arrival.
