Jordon Ibe

Jordon Ashley Femi Ibe (/ˈɔːrdən ˈb/ EYEB; born 8 December 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger.

After coming up through the youth system of Wycombe Wanderers, for whom he made his debut in the Football League as a 15-year-old, Ibe joined Liverpool in 2012. He spent time on loan at Championship clubs Birmingham City in the 2013–14 season and Derby County in 2014–15. In 2016, he signed for Premier League club AFC Bournemouth for a then club record £15 million fee, and was released in 2020. He spent the 2020–21 season with Derby County, but played little, and joined Adanaspor in January 2022. In October 2023, after a year out, Ibe joined National League club Ebbsfleet United, but played only once, and a year later spent a couple of months with Isthmian League club Hayes & Yeading United

Ibe represented England from under-18 to under-21 level.

Ibe was born in Bermondsey, in the London Borough of Southwark, and attended Sacred Heart Catholic School, Camberwell. He signed for the Wycombe Wanderers youth team in 2007 at the age of 12, following his release from the Charlton Athletic youth team.

Ibe came up through the youth system at Wycombe, and made his first-team debut on 9 August 2011 in the League Cup victory against Colchester United at Adams Park, coming on as an extra-time substitute aged 15 years and 244 days. On 15 October, at the age of 15 years and 311 days, he came on in the 90th minute of the victory against Hartlepool United and became Wycombe's youngest-ever Football League player. He made his first senior start against Sheffield Wednesday 14 days later and scored in the 2–1 loss, becoming the youngest Wycombe goalscorer in the Football League. In all, Ibe made 11 appearances and scored once for Wanderers.

On 20 December 2011, Premier League club Liverpool signed the 16-year-old Ibe for an undisclosed fee. He initially joined up with the club's under-18 squad.

Ibe was called up to the bench for the Premier League game at Southampton on 16 March 2013; he remained unused. Two months later, Ibe made his Premier League debut in the final game of the season, starting the match and assisting Philippe Coutinho for the only goal of the match against Queens Park Rangers. He was substituted in the 63rd minute by Fabio Borini after putting on a positive display.

For the 2013–14 season, Ibe was allocated the number 33 shirt vacated by Jonjo Shelvey. He made his first start of the season on 27 August, playing 120 minutes as Liverpool beat Notts County 4–2 after extra time in the League Cup second round. On 8 February 2014, he made his second Premier League appearance, as a 76th-minute substitute in a 5–1 home win over Arsenal.
