Jack Frederick Wendell Storer (born 2 January 1998) is an English footballer who plays as a forward for Championship club Birmingham City. He previously played for Stevenage, for whom he made his debut in the Football League.
Career
Storer was a member of Birmingham City's youth academy until the under-15 level,[4] and played youth football for Shirley Town before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers' academy in early 2013 after a trial.[5] He was not offered a scholarship by Wolves, and briefly played junior football for Paget Rangers – becoming the club's youngest ever first-team player and youngest goalscorer[6] – before linking up with Stevenage, with whom he agreed a scholarship to begin in July 2014 after he left school.[1] In his first year, he was twice named among the substitutes for League Two matches, but remained unused.[2] He made his debut in the Football League on 18 August 2015, aged 17 years 229 days, replacing Tom Pett in the 79th minute of a 3–0 defeat away to Leyton Orient.[7][8] He signed a professional contract with the club a couple of weeks later.[7]
Storer signed a six-month contract with Birmingham City of the Championship in April 2016, to begin on 9 May when the transfer window opened. The fee was undisclosed by Birmingham,[4] while Stevenage reported it as "a five-figure fee ... with further performance payments based on success".[9] After scoring seven goals in pre-season friendlies, four of which came in first-team matches, his contract was extended to 2018.[3] They also earned him a place on the bench for the opening fixture, at home to Cardiff City. He made his debut after 70 minutes, replacing Diego Fabbrini, and came close to giving Birmingham a lead when he narrowly failed to touch Reece Brown's cutback past the goalkeeper; the match finished goalless.[10] His second league appearance was again as a second-half substitute, with his side losing 2–1 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. After seven minutes on the field, he won a free kick in an attacking area; he and opponent Kortney Hause confronted each other, and Storer was sent off for headbutting Hause. Birmingham lost 3–1.[11]
