Ex-Sunderland, Coventry City and Wycombe man makes League Two club debut
Former Sunderland defender Jordan Willis made his debut for Northampton Town in League Two over the weekend
Former Sunderland defender Jordan Willis made his debut for Northampton Town in League Two over the weekend – linking back up with two-time teammate Lee Burge.
Willis remained on Wearside throughout the 2021-22 season as he continued his recovery before departing the club in the summer. In February, he moved to Wycombe Wanderers on a free transfer.
Earlier this month, Willis signed for Northampton Town on a free transfer and made his debut for the League Two outfit off the bench as his team lost 2-1 to Bolton Wanderers.
Speaking about the move to Northampton Town, Willis said: “I’ve already been here for a while and it’s going well,” the centre-back told Northampton’s website. “It’s been good to get some training under my belt and meet with the lads. They seem a great bunch and now I’ve signed a deal I can’t wait to get going
“The club’s in a good place and you can tell that from just one week of training. You can see the quality of the squad and hopefully, I can add to that and help the club progress.”
“I know a couple of the lads. I’ve had two spells with Lee Burge at Sunderland and Coventry and I played alongside Ryan Haynes at Coventry as well. We all came through around the same time at Coventry so it’s been good to see them again.
“I came through as a 17-year-old at Coventry and then continued playing there until I was about 24 before I spent two seasons at Sunderland. I had a good six months at Wycombe last season after joining in January. I managed to play a good few games and now I’m feeling fit and feeling well and I’m ready to hit the ground runnin
