A former captain of the Magpies` under-23 side, the highly rated 18-year-old defender, who can operate at full-back or centre-back, returns to the Avenue Stadium having spent a successful season with Wessex League Premier Division side Shaftesbury and has started all four of Dorchester’s pre-season friendlies so far.

First team coach Brian Churchill told the club’s website: “Jordi’s come through our under-23s and developed really well. He’s gone away and played 50 or so games for a Wessex League side last season and really shone.

“He’s matured from a football point of view and from a physical point of view too – everyone can see that out on the pitch, and he’s going to be a player for Dorchester this season and the future.

“We’re really happy to get Jordi signed on as we know quite a few clubs were looking at him. We feel the best place for him to develop is at Dorchester and we’ll do everything we can to assist that. I know he’s got high aspirations, so we’re hoping to fulfil that with him”.
