On 11 May 2015, the Latics announced that Truelove was Oldham's Community Trust Player of the Season.{{cite web|url=http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/video-community-trust-player-of-the-season-jack-truelove-2450866.aspx|title=VIDEO: Community Trust Player Of The Season – Jack Truelove|publisher=Oldham Athletic A.F.C.|accessdate=16 September 2016}}

Following his loan-move to National League North side Brackley Town in September 2015, Truelove scored his first ever competitive goal in The Saints' 3–1 win over Tooting & Mitcham United in the FA Cup second round qualifying.

On 3 December 2015, Truelove joined National League North side Curzon Ashton on a 28-day youth loan, which proved to be fruitful for both the club and the player. Truelove made quite an impression during his stay at the Tameside Stadium, so much so that the Nash faithful even chanted a song about the Latics' fullback, appropriately titled: 'It must be love, Truelove' – a throw-back to the classic Madness anthem: 'It must be love', which topped in the UK charts at number 4 in 1983.

In a bid to help preserve their National League status, Oldham Athletic agreed to loan Truelove to Hednesford Town on another 28-day youth-loan. He made his debut for The Pitmen in the 4–1 win over Stafford Rangers in the Staffordshire Senior Cup{{cite web|url=http://www.staffordshirefa.com/county-cups/senior-cup|title=Senior Cup – StaffordshireFA|first=The Football|last=Association|publisher=staffordshirefa.com|accessdate=16 September 2016}} on 19 January 2016. At the end of the initial loan period, Truelove's loan was extended at Keys Park until the end of the 2015/6 season.

= Curzon Ashton =

After being released by Oldham Athletic in May 2016, Truelove signed for National League North side Curzon Ashton in a bid to maintain a level of match fitness. He played just two games for The Nash against Chorley and Worcester City before agreeing a move to Mornington Soccer Club, which play in Australian Men's State League 1 South-East division.

= Padiham =

On 13 June 2019, Truelove signed for North West Counties Premier League side Padiham
