Jackson's back!

Folkestone Invicta have announced the return to the club of Ira Jackson Junior.

Ira first moved to Invicta in January 2019, and at that point the jury was out on whether he was a striker or a winger, but seven goals in fourteen appearances- many of them cutting in from a wide position- saw him swap the number eleven shirt for the number nine during the 2019-20 campaign, and how he responded- scoring twenty six goals before the campaign came to a premature end. Those statistics saw him earn a move to Grimsby Town, at that point managed by Ian Holloway.

He played regularly for Town before the pandemic got in the way, and he moved on last season to play for Wealdstone.

Prior to his first spell with Invicta, he had two spells with Ashford United. He also played for Sittingbourne, Dover Athletic, Margate and Worthing, amongst others.

Watch him being interviewed, below.
