In a transfer announced on Tuesday, the club said: “Hungerford Town have completed the signing of former Liverpool and Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe.”

On the move, Ibe said: “It is an honour to Hungerford Town for taking me in and believing in my dream.

“It is time to buckle down and show the ability that I still have. With hard work, it can take you anywhere.”

Ibe once cost £15million as part of a transfer between Liverpool and Bournemouth, a then club-record fee for the Cherries.

That deal was struck eight and a half years ago, and Ibe has starred for several different clubs since.

Following his time with the Cherries, which was heavily hampered by injuries, Ibe joined Derby on a free transfer in 2020.

His time there lasted just one season before he was left without a club.

Ibe then completed a switch to Turkish side Adanaspor six months later.

Having joined in January, Ibe was then once again left without a club in the summer.

This time he had to only wait until October to join his next club, non-league Ebbsfleet.

But he played just once for before being released the following summer once again.

In October 2024, Ibe signed for Hayes and Yeading in step eight of the English football pyramid.

However, this month has seen him picked up by step seven club Hungerford.

He also represented England at Under-21 level.

Manager Danny Robinson said of the deal: “I am absolutely delighted to welcome Jordon to Bulpit Lane. Jordon comes to us with a massive pedigree and wealth of experience.

“By his own admission he wants to get back going again and we will be doing everything we can to get him smiling and enjoy his football.

“A serious talent that we are all looking forward to seeing in a Hungerford shirt. Welcome Jordon!”

Ibe could make his debut as soon as this weekend in front of home supporters at Bulpit Lane as the club play Havant and Waterlooville.
