Jack Aitchison signed for Bristol Rovers in June 2026 from Exeter City, penning a two-year contract with the Club.

Born in Fauldhouse, Scotland, in 2000, Aitchison came through the academy at Scottish giants Celtic and was the youngest ever player to make an appearance for the Bhoys when he came off the bench against Motherwell on May 15 2016. Celtic won 7-0, and Aitchison netted with his first touch, making him the youngest-ever player to score a competitive goal for the club.

Aitchison made three appearances for Celtic before making loan moves to Scottish League One side Dumbarton and Scottish Championship team Alloa Athletic during the 2018/19 campaign. 

In the following campaign, Aitchison made his first move to the English Football League, switching on loan to the then-Sky Bet League Two side Forest Green Rovers, where he scored five goals and provided five assists in 28 appearances in the fourth tier.

Aitchison moved to Barnsley after leaving Celtic and signed a three-year contract at the Tykes. However, he spent his first two years at the club away from Oakwell Stadium, going on loan to Stevenage and Forest Green.

Aitchison played 20 times and scored three goals for Barnsley in the 2022/23 season before moving to Scottish Premiership club Motherwell in January 2023. The 26-year-old played 11 times before returning to England a few months later, signing for Exeter in June 2023.

Aitchison was a regular for the Grecians in Sky Bet League One, playing 37 times in the 2023/24 term, followed by another 28 games the season after and 40 matches last campaign. Overall, he played 125 times for Exeter across three seasons at the club, scoring nine goals and registering ten assists.
