Jake Matthew Hyde (born 1 July 1990) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for National League South club Chelmsford City.

[5] He began his career at Swindon Town in their youth system, and when still a second-year scholar he signed a one-and-a-half-year professional contract with the club on 19 February 2008.

[9][10] He made his debut in a 1–0 away defeat to Lincoln City on 8 August 2009 and scored two goals, with a header and a penalty kick, against Shrewsbury Town a week later.

[11][12] Hyde's most notable contribution of the 2009–10 season came with the stoppage time winner over Notts County on 29 August 2009, having entered the match as a 90th minute substitute.

[18] Hyde's goal against Dunfermline Athletic brought him to the attention of their manager Jim McIntyre, and he signed for them as an amateur in late March 2011 for the rest of 2010–11.

[28] League Two club York City expressed an interest in signing Hyde during the summer,[29] but they were unable to meet Barnet's valuation of him after he scored four goals in the first five matches of 2013–14.

[30] He remained at the club after the transfer deadline, and despite missing much of the season through injury was Barnet's second highest scorer with 12 goals in 28 appearances, one behind Keanu Marsh-Brown with 13.

[31][32] He was offered a new one-year contract by Barnet, but was transfer listed again in April 2014 to attract interest in him, after expressing his desire to play in the Football League.

[31] Hyde joined League Two club York City on 2 June 2014 on a three-year contract, with Barnet due a compensation fee.

[33] He made his debut in a 1–1 home draw with Northampton Town on 16 August 2014,[34] and scored York's goal at the near post from an Anthony Straker corner.
