JORDAN Ibe was the Wycombe player making the headlines last week when the 15-year-old scored his first senior goal for the club against Sheffield Wednesday, the referee joining in on the celebrations by booking the lad for whooping it up with his family in the stands.

Wycombe lost, not helped by Gareth Ainsworth’s sending off (who had made over 100 appearances for the club before Ibe was even born).

Lost in all of this was news that Wycombe had signed Nicholas Bignall on loan from Reading. You can only hope that Ibe has a more settled career than Bignall – he’s only 21 but has already played for nine clubs (eight on loan): Reading, Northampton, Cheltenham, Stockport, Southampton, Bournemouth, Brentford, Exeter and now Wycombe.

Have boots, will travel.
