Former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe has signed for non-league side Hungerford Town. The 29-year-old, who moved from the Reds to Bournemouth for £15million in 2016, has completed a switch to the Southern Football League Premier Division South in step eight of the English football league pyramid.

Ibe has been playing in the lower leagues after signing for Ebbsfleet United in the National League in 2023. The former Reds winger ended an 11-month spell without a football club after leaving Turkish second-division side Adanaspor without ever playing.

He made 58 appearances for Liverpool, making his debut at the age of 17, before spells at AFC Bournemouth and Derby County. It was during his time at Pride Park, a period he has previously described as the "darkest" of his life.

On Tuesday, Hungerford, in Berkshire, confirmed the move after teasing an announcement. After leaving the Fleet last summer, Ibe signed for Hayes & Yeating in the ninth tier, scoring one goal in 10 appearances but he has since moved up to the Premier Division South as they look to beat the relegation zone - which they currently sit two points clear of.

Speaking following the announcement of his latest move, Ibe told the club's website: "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."

Hungerford manager Danny Robinson added: "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."

Ibe made 33 appearances under Jurgen Klopp scoring four goals and providing as many assists, one of which came against Rubin Kazan in Russia. He scored in the quarter-final and semi-final of the League Cup respectively, before Klopp lost his final in charge at Anfield - in penalty shootout disappointment to Manchester City.

Liverpool did insert a buy-back clause for Ibe in his move to the south coast. At the time, Klopp was keen to stress that the player still had the opportunity to have a future with the Reds, should he impress for the Cherries

"Things like this are usually really expensive but these aren’t," Klopp told the ECHO in August 2016. "Yes, there’s a bit of a risk. It’s not that you can sell someone for £10m with a buy-back clause of £8m. That would be fantastic!

"The difference between loaning a player and selling a player isn’t so great. Of course you get a fee when you sell a player. But in both situations you think they are old enough and ready to play but in that moment they don’t have a fixed position in your team.

"At that age you have to play and that was the case with Brad Smith and Jordon Ibe. They had the possibility to do that (with Bournemouth) and they were deals that absolutely made sense for both sides.

"We will watch them, they will have pressure there, they will fight for the league or whatever, and we will see them growing up in pressure situations. That’s perfect.

"If a player is on loan it’s different. It’s like going on holiday. You can always go home. That’s difficult for these guys as they are always between clubs.

"Now Smith and Ibe are there and we have buy-back clauses. Hopefully they do really well and then in the end we and them will decide.

"The goodbyes were okay with both of them. Liverpool is still in their hearts so we will have a chance if they do well."
