Jordon Ashley Femi Ibe (born 8 December 1995)[2] is an English professional footballer who plays for Liverpool in the Premier League, as a winger. He previously played for Wycombe Wanderers and has represented England at Under 18 and 19 levels.

Career

Born in Bermondsey, South London,[3] Ibe signed as a 12 year old in 2007 for Wycombe Wanderers youth system, after his release from the Charlton Athletic youth system.[4]

Wycombe Wanderers

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.[5] On 15 October he came on in the 90th minute of the victory against Hartlepool United and became Wycombe's youngest-ever Football League player.[6] He made his first senior start against Sheffield Wednesday on 29 October and scored in the 2–1 loss, becoming the youngest Wycombe goalscorer in the Football League.[7] In all, Ibe made 11 appearances, scoring once for Wanderers.[8]

Liverpool

On 12 December 2011, it was reported that Ibe had signed a pre-contract with Premier League club Liverpool.[9] On 20 December, Liverpool agreed to sign Ibe, aged 16,[10] for an undisclosed fee.[11] He initially joined up with the club's under-18 squad.[12] On 22 July 2012, he made his first team debut[4] for the club in a pre-season friendly against MLS side Toronto.[13] The match finished 1–1 with Ibe substituted at half-time for Joe Cole.[14] On 16 March 2013, Ibe was called up to the bench for the Premier League game at Southampton.[15] Three days later, Ibe impressed in his Premier League debut for Liverpool 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, however, substituted in the 63rd minute for Fabio Borini after putting on a positive display.[16][17]

On 13 July 2013, Ibe played the first half of Liverpool's pre-season friendly victory against Preston North End, scoring his debut goal for the club in the 37th minute.[18][19] He was included in Liverpool's pre-season tour, featuring in games against Indonesia XI, Melbourne Victory and Thailand. For the 2013–14 season, it was announced that Ibe would wear the number 33 shirt, vacated by Jonjo Shelvey after his transfer to Swansea City.[20] 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.[21]

International career

On 24 October 2012, Ibe made his national team debut at under-18 level, playing 69 minutes in a 2–0 win against Italy.[22]

On 5 September 2013, Ibe made his debut for England under-19 in a 6-1 win against Estonia.[23]
