Dundalk sign midfielder Jordan Flores from Wigan Athletic

Dundalk have completed the signing of midfielder Jordan Flores from Wigan Athletic after the 23-year-old completed his medical and signed a two-year contract with the Oriel Park club.

Flores, who can operate anywhere across the midfield, had most recently spent time on loan in Swedish football with Östersunds and adds more depth to an already formidable Dundalk squad.

“It feels good to get the deal signed,” he told the club’s official website

“I did some research on the club once I found out the interest and they have been very successful in recent years.

“I have wanted to get back playing regular football so it seemed like the perfect place to come and do that.

“I am a player who likes to get on the ball in the middle of the pitch and keep possession so hopefully people can see what I am all about quickly.

“I want to play as many games as possible for myself and for the club. I want to help repeat the success that the club have had over the past few seasons and be part of even more.”

Born and bred in Wigan to a Spanish father, Flores started his career with Wigan Athletic before loan spells with Blackpool, Chesterfield, AFC Fylde and, most recently, Ostersunds in Sweden.

Dundalk boss Vinny Perth still hopes to add one or two more faces to his squad before the new season kicks off in three weeks’ time, with Andy Boyle and Sean Murray both being heavily linked.
