Jordon Ibe Signs Short-Term Deal With Eighth-Tier Sittingbourne

The former Liverpool winger joins in a bid to rebuild after a Sweden move collapsed over work-permit issues.

Overview

  • Sittingbourne said they will provide an “ideal environment” for Ibe to regain form with the aim of a return to full-time football.
  • The transfer follows a failed switch to Umea in Sweden after a successful trial was halted by work-permit problems.
  • Ibe most recently played for Hungerford Town and featured in Sky SportsBaller League under coach John Terry.
  • The 29-year-old previously addressed depression publicly before resuming a nomadic run of short spells in England and Turkey.
  • Sittingbourne, ninth in their division after a midweek loss, host Croydon on Saturday, with Ibe hoping to feature.
