Forward makes Corby Town return

O’Brien left the Steelmen last summer to join Spalding and went to make 17 appearances for the club in total.

However, he has not featured for them since the end of October.

Whilst at Corby, O’Brien broke onto the scene at the age of 17 and earned a move to Sheffield Wednesday, working his way up to their U23s side.

Discussing his arrival, manager Lee Attenborough said: “Jordan was one of the players I wanted to keep when I first came in as manager.

“He decided at the time that his future lay elsewhere as it was the start of a rebuild and there was no squad in place at Corby at the time.

“He’s gone on to play a part in almost all of Spalding’s games this season and he’s done really well. Recently, he’s found his game time a little more limited, so I jumped in to bring him back to the club.

“Jordan’s a technically gifted player who will give us plenty more options in forward positions. He’s versatile, can play as a centre forward, wide man or a number 10, so it gives us plenty more competition for places which is always a good thing.

“He comes back with a point to prove as well, so I’m hoping that extra motivation will push him to even higher levels.”

He becomes the club’s second signing in less than a week, following the recent capture of goalkeeper Tomasz Bukowski from Quorn AFC.
