'I know the level and I have a really good rapport with young players in the north' - new Buxton boss can't wait to get started

​

Sheffield Wednesday would like to thank Jordan for his hard work and dedication over the past four years and he leaves the club with our very best wishes.

“It’s a really good opportunity for me to go in and have a really good go at bringing success to Buxton,” Jordan told swfc.co.uk.

“It’s a good level and it has long been my dream to go and manage.

“I know the level, I have a really good rapport with young players in the North of England and believe we can build an ambitious squad.

“At the same time, I’m leaving with a heavy heart because Sheffield Wednesday are my club, since I was a little boy, they have played a massive part in my life.

“Hopefully one day I can be back in some capacity but right now, I need to give this a go.

“When my dream of being a footballer wasn’t going to happen, the next thing was to be a manager and now I am starting to fulfil that dream.

“I’m massively excited and will do all I can to build on the good work already done by John McGrath, who is also a friend of mine.

“To the group of players I’ve worked with in our academy of the past two/three years, they’ve all been a massive part of my journey.

“I have built some really good connections, I want to wish them every success and will always be there for them.”
