DONE DEAL: Ex-Liverpool winger Ibe joins Ebbsfleet

Former Liverpool and Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe has signed for Ebbsfleet United.

Ibe has joined Ebbsfleet this week and immediately included in the squad for their FA Cup fourth round qualifying tie with Slough Town today.

“I just want to get back out there, show people what I can do again and play football," he said.

"I've worked hard to be in a position where I am able to focus on football and believe in myself and my ability to contribute on the pitch. Being back out there is where I love to be and where I'm most happy but I needed to be healthy and prepared to give myself that chance," he added, speaking to Ebbsfleet's official website.

"The way Ebbsfleet have helped me and put a process in place so I can be ready has been really supportive. I came in and have had to back myself and prove I'm here to succeed to earn my chance.

"The gaffer and staff have built up my fitness to the point where I'm ready to go with a ball and I'm really pleased to be able to concentrate on my game while at the same time being really supported."
