Bromsgrove Sporting are delighted to announce its third retained player ahead of the 2026/27 season – classy midfielder Jordan Lyden.
Jordan, who joined Sporting during the 2024/25 season, will also be joining the club’s management staff in a coaching role!
The former Premier League player is already involved in our pathway’s coaching system, at Colmers School and Sixth Form College.
Speaking about staying with Sporting in this new player-coach role, as the club begins an exciting new chapter, Jordan said: “I’m delighted to be staying at Bromsgrove for another season, and to continue being part of such a great club – I’m excited about the direction we’re heading in.
“I still believe I have plenty to offer – both through my experience on the pitch and the knowledge I can bring off it. I’ll do everything I can to support the squad and help us achieve the targets we’ve set for the season ahead.”
Commenting on Jordan’s new player-coach role, assistant manager Leon Broadhurst commented: “It’s great to have Jordan as part of the coaching staff, while maintaining his fitness levels to continue playing for us.
“Lydes is a valuable part of the dressing room and his experience having played at the highest level is so important. His vision to how we want to play and succeed is the same as mine and the gaffer’s, and I’m sure he will be a valuable addition.”
We hope you will join us in welcoming Jordan back to Sporting for the upcoming season!
