A former Wycombe Wanderers fan favourite has found himself a new club after being out of the game for nearly 18 months.

Jordon Ibe, who played 11 times for the Chairboys during the autumn and winter of 2011 when he was 15 and 16 years old, has joined Ebbsfleet United of the National League.

He was announced on the day the club took on Slough Town in the final FA Cup qualifying round.

A victory for either side would cement their place in the first round proper of the competition.

Speaking on his move, Ibe said: “I just want to get back out there, show people what I can do again and play football.

“I’ve worked hard to be in a position where I can focus on football and believe in myself and my ability to contribute on the pitch.

“Being back out there is where I love to be and where I’m most happy, but I needed to be healthy and prepared to give myself that chance.

“The way Ebbsfleet have helped me and put a process in place so I can be ready has been supportive.

“I came in and have had to back myself and prove I’m here to succeed to earn my chance.

“The gaffer and staff have built up my fitness to the point where I’m ready to go with a ball and I’m really pleased to be able to concentrate on my game while at the same time being really supported.” 

Ibe left Wycombe in January 2012 for Premier League Liverpool, where he would go on to play 58 times and score four goals across four-and-a-half seasons.

He would also enjoy loan spells at Birmingham City and Derby County respectively.

A move to Bournemouth in the summer of 2016 followed, and after five goals in 92 appearances, he would depart for Derby following the Cherries’ relegation from the top-flight in 2020.

However, one appearance back at Pride Park was all that came for Ibe before he transferred to the Turkish outfit, Adanaspor.
