Wycombe boss Matt Bloomfield believes skipper Joe Jacobson ‘gets better every year’ as the club gets ready for his testimonial match this weekend.
The 36-year-old is celebrating his 10th year at Adams Park with a friendly against his boyhood team, Cardiff City.
This will be the last non-competitive match of the summer for the Chairboys before they take on Exeter City seven days later in the season opener.

Bloomfield said: “He’s a special guy and he’s one of the best guys you’ll ever meet, and I’m glad we’ll be able to celebrate him for what he has done for this club - both as a player and as a person.
“There have been some special moments on the pitch, but off the pitch as well in terms of his leadership and how he conducts himself every day.
🙌 Full steam ahead to Saturday!

“This is to celebrate J on his day and it’s a testament to his longevity.
"Not many people join a club at 27 and get a testimonial because most people think that when you’re above 30, you’re over the hill.
“He just gets better every year, and he does every minute of every session we put out, he’s looked after himself and he conducts himself in a great way.”
