Ex-Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe to face trial accused of assault
Former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe is to face trial accused of assaulting a woman.
Ex-Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe has appeared in court where he pleaded not guilty to an offence of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The alleged assault took place in Lambeth, south London, on December 14, the court heard.
The hearing took place at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Friday (March 6) with a trial date set for July 14 at the same court. The 30-year-old was released on conditional bail at the end of the 13-minute hearing and ordered to next appear in court for his trial.
Ibe, of Chislehurst, Bromley, south-east London, made 58 appearances for the Anfield side in all competitions after first joining in 2012, before spells at Derby County, Birmingham City and AFC Bournemouth. He appeared 92 times for Bournemouth between 2016 and 2020.
The former England under-21 international now plays for Lokomotiv Sofia in the Bulgarian First League, the highest in the Balkan country. In the last two years he had been playing non-league football before securing the move to the Bulgarian capital in November 2025.
The Metropolitan Police previously said Ibe was arrested at Luton Airport on January 30 and he was charged last month.
