Career

Hickman started his career in the youth system at Coventry City before making his debut in an EFL Trophy game against Forest Green Rovers.[3]

On 13 October 2017, Jak initially joined Mickleover Sports on a one-month loan with fellow Sky Blue Bilal Sayoud.[4] Then in March 2018 he rejoined the non-league side on loan for the remainder of the season.[5]

During the 2018–19 season Hickman had loan spells with Ashton United[6] and Hereford.[7]

On 4 July 2019, Coventry City announced the fining and placing of Hickman on the transfer list, following disparaging comments made against the club made by Hickman in a video that circulated on social media.[8]

Hickman joined Southern League Premier Central side Bromsgrove Sporting on loan on 22 November 2019.[9]

On 6 August 2020, Hickman signed for Bolton Wanderers, on a initial one-year deal[10] and his competitive debut came on 8 September in a 2–3 home defeat against Crewe Alexandra in the EFL Trophy.[11] His first goal came on 17 November as he scored Bolton's first goal in a 3–2 win against Newcastle United U21 in the EFL Trophy.[12]

On 5 March 2021, Hickman joined National League side King's Lynn Town on loan for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.[13] He only played once due to injury. On 19 May 2021 Bolton announced he would be released at the end of his contract.[14]

Hickman signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic on 19 August 2021 until the end of the season in November.[15][16] He made his debut for the club the following night, replacing Jason McClelland at half-time in a 3–1 defeat against Finn Harps at Finn Park.[17] His first assist for the club came on 3 September when his cross was volleyed in by Chris Forrester in a 3–2 win over Longford Town at Richmond Park.[18] On 28 November 2021 Hickman came off the bench in the 2021 FAI Cup Final, as his side defeated rivals Bohemians 4–3 on penalties following a 1–1 draw after extra time in front of a record FAI Cup Final crowd of 37,126 at the Aviva Stadium.[19]

On 10 December 2021, Hickman signed for Southern League Premier Division Central side Stourbridge.[20]
