Louis Paul Jackson (born 18 September 2005) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League Two club Tranmere Rovers on loan from Premier League club Manchester United.
Born in Oldham, but brought up in Trafford, Jackson became a season-ticket holder at Manchester United at five years-old. He joined the Manchester United academy at ten years-old and at the age of 15 became the younger player to ever feature for the club's under-23 team. He was part of the United youth side that won the FA Youth Cup in 2022. In October 2022, he signed his first professional contract with the club. [3] [4] Jackson was first named on the bench for the senior team in the semi-finals of the 23/24 FA Cup against Coventry City. [5] Although he was also named on the substitutes bench against Sheffield United, Burnley, and Crystal Palace in the Premier League later that season, [6] [7] [8] Jackson is yet to make his senior debut. [9]
In February 2025, he joined EFL League Two side Tranmere Rovers on loan for the rest of the season. [10]
In August 2025, he joined National League side Solihull Moors on loan for the rest of the season.
Born in Oldham, England, Jackson has represented both England and Scotland at youth level. [11] He was handed his international debut by Omer Riza, the England U16 coach at the time, in an U16 friendly game against Northern Ireland that England won 6-0. [12] Despite that, he has since opted to represent Scotland at U17, U18, and U19 levels. Jackson currently plays for Scotland U19s. He scored his first international goal in a 3-1 win over Andorra U19 in the 2023/2024 UEFA Euro U19 Championship Qualifiers, on the 18th of November, 2023. [13]
Jackson has been described as a "calm and composed" defender. [14]
