[Albion] Jordan Maguire-Drew joins Leyton Orient

[AZ Gull]

He had a decent enough start to his loan spell at Wrexham - 3 goals in the first 8 matches of the season - but has only made 2 substitute appearances in the last 12 matches (with 3 non-used sub "appearances" and not even in the squad on 7 occasions). Absolutely pointless for him to remain on loan at a club for the next 5 months when he has fallen completely out of favour.

He was a hero at Worthing 3 seasons ago; given his long, slow descent over the last couple of seasons, maybe he'll end up back there for the next few months as it seems it might just about be his level right now.

Was highly rated at Coventry too. Can't be much fun for the lad being stuck in North Wales.
Better to recall him and loan him out a bit closer to home.

Not lots of love for him from the Wrexham fans, general criticism is the level of application and consistency rather than ability.

Unfortunately he also had a fair bit of criticism from Lincoln and Coventry fans as well - it seems to be a bit of a theme.

A friend of mine is a season ticket holder at Wrexham and described Jordan as "a bit of a baby" - I don't think that he could be anywhere near as bad as Zahahahahahahaha but it's obviously not an endearing trait.

“Possibly the highest arrogance v application ratio in the Wrexham all time list”

Blimey

 

[amexer]

Same from all posters on Wrexham Forum. Ability but little application

 

[Napper]

shame, had high hopes for this lad but doesn't look like will get anywhere near the level we require.

Expect will be gone by next season

Suggestions on Wrexham forum that he’s about to sign permanently for Orient.

Sounds like could be time for him to move on. He seems from reports to be the type that needs a stable club environment. Perhaps be better off as one of the best players in Non-League rather than fighting for a place in L1/L2.

Can't see him making the PL but if he wants to I'm sure he could have a decent career somewhere.

 

[carlzeiss]

For what it's worth he impressed me at Woodside road , would be happy to see him back on loan there .

Needs a move like this. Had promise but sometimes things don't work out. Chance to rebuild his career at a lower level, knuckle down, and see what he can do.

He has.

Brighton & Hove Albion under-23 winger Jordan Maguire-Drew has joined Leyton Orient on undisclosed terms.

The winger will link up the National League leaders on a two-and-a-half-year deal, after spending the first half of this season on loan at Wrexham.

Under-23 coach Simon Rusk said, “This is a good move for Jordan, and one that will allow him to play regular first-team football.

“I’d like to thank Jordan for his contribution during his time at the club, and I wish him all the very best for the future.”

Maguire-Drew had four loan moves out of the club, following spells at Dagenham & Redbridge, Lincoln City, Coventry City and Wrexham respectively.

The 21-year-old made 46 appearances and scored 15 goals during his time with Dagenham in 2016/17, while he was also part of the Coventry squad that won the League Two play-off Final against Exeter City in May 2018.

We like down at Brisbane Road

If he does half as well as Peter Allen and Danny Carter, who both had associations with the Albion and left for the Orient, he will have a fairly decent career.

 

[Gritt23]

Saw Orient play at Ebbsfleet a few weeks back, and he didn't impress IMHO, but perhaps that was just an off day for the whole team, as Orient came in as league leaders, and didn't really look like it as Ebbsfleet did a number on them that day.

Has returned to Sussex, joining Crawley on loan for the rest of the season.

They should change their name to Crawley Albion - they now have five former Albion players on their books.

Which ones? JMD, Tilley, Dallison, Davies... whose the fifth?
