Midfielder Jake Beecroft has worked his way through the ranks at Nene Park, starting out in the Club's youth system, and progressing via a number of reserve team games to make an initial appearance for the first team at the end of the 2006/07 season, and then three further substitute appearances at the end of the 2007/08 season. Jake initially had an extension option taken out on his contract by the club to keep him at Nene Park for the 2008/09 season, and then he was offered and signed a deal that runs until the end of the 2010/11 season.

At the start of September 2009 he went on loan to Ilkeston Town, who play in the Blue Square North league. He also appeared for Ilkeston in the FA Cup, helping them into the fourth Qualifying Round. He returned to the Diamonds at the end of 2009, but was then sent on loan to St Albans City at the end of January 2010, for a further month.

He returned to Nene Park towards the end of the 2008-10 season, and made his first Diamonds start in their final away game of the regular season - the 1-0 victory at Wrexham. He left the club by mutual consent at the end of the 2009/10 season.
