Jordan Flores returns to League of Ireland with Bohemians

Jordan Flores is back in the League of Ireland after signing for Bohemians ahead of the new season.

The Englishman joined Dundalk from Wigan in 2019 and was best known for a sensational goal away to Shamrock Rovers that was nominated for FIFA’s Puskas Award.

MIdfielder Flores, left the league at the end of the 2020 season and joined Hull City where he was loaned to Northampton Town before that deal was made permanent.

The 26-year-old made 14 appearances for the League Two club this season but has been a peripheral figure and last played on New Year’s Day.

Flores was this month offered to a number of League of Ireland clubs, with Bohs making the offer on a ‘multi-year’ contract.

Gypsies boss Keith Long is rebuilding the Dalymount Park club after a spate of high-profile departures.

Georgie Kelly, Keith Buckley, Ross Tierney, Rob Cornwall, Andy Lyons, Keith Ward, Anto Breslin, Stephen McGuinness, Roland Idowu, Bastien Hery and Jack Moylan have left.

But along with Flores, Bohs have signed Kris Twardek, Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe, Max Murphy, Tadgh Ryan, Jordan Doherty, Grant Horton, Ryan Cassidy and JJ McKiernan.

Northampton Town cancelled Flores’ contract after just six starts and manager Jon Brady said: "Jordan has the opportunity to find himself another club and we wish him well

"Things didn't really work out for Jordan at Sixfields. I’m sure he would have wanted to have played more regularly.

“But that wasn't something we could promise him moving forward and so his contract has been cancelled and he is now a free agent.

"We part on good terms and we thank him for his efforts. We wish Jordan well in his next move and his ongoing career."

Cork City FC have signed midfielder Matt Healy on loan from Ipswich Town until June.

Rebels boss Colin Healy said: “He has been with us in pre-season training and has played in the friendly games. He has worked hard and done well.”
