Dorchester Town Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Jordan Barnett ahead of the 2023/24 season (subject to FA approval).
Having featured for Oldham Athletic in League One and both Notts County and Yeovil Town in the National League over recent seasons, Barnett impressed in the heart of the Magpies midfield in our final pre-season friendly on Tuesday night at The Avenue as a trialist wearing the number #7 shirt.
Speaking on his latest new signing, boss Glenn Howes said: “We had a snapshot of what Jordan’s about in the fixture against Eastleigh. He’s a very accomplished player in terms of the levels he has played at and the teams he has played for.”
“Although he’s still only 23-years-old, he’s going to bring a little bit of experience and bite to our midfield that we’ve been lacking and we've been searching high and low for.”
“We’ve obviously lost our dead ball specialist so that’s also definitely something we’ve looked to acquire in Jordan’s technical ability and it was on point for us to witness on Tuesday night, so that will also be a huge asset for us as the season goes on.”
Having finished the previous season playing for Buxton in the National League North, Howes added: “Players of his quality don’t grow on trees, and we’ve been very fortunate that Jordan has made a choice to relocate and come back down south, because without that he wouldn’t be a Dorchester Town player.”
Welcome Jordan!
