FORMER Arsenal star Jack Jebb has signed for his tenth club in a free transfer to seventh-tier side Folkestone.
The 28-year-old was once hailed as the “next Jack Wilshere” after signing for the Gunners in 2012.
Jebb began his journey with Arsenal’s U18s and signed his first professional contract in September 2012.
The midfielder never played for the senior North London team.
Instead, he spent two seasons on loan at Stevenage and later signed with them on a one-year deal and only made five appearances.
The London-born ace in his heyday was praised for his prowess as a central midfielder like Arsenal legend Wilshere who made 197 appearances for the Gunners.

But has instead become a forgotten star and signed for non-league side Folkestone.
The club announced the signing on their X account in a minute-long video of Jebb stunting in their amber and black strip.
Jebb’s career path led him through a series of clubs including Newport, Sutton, Wellington United, Wealdstone, and Dartford.
In 2022, Jebb moved to Dorking Wanderers in the National League.

But was loaned out to Havant & Waterlooville in the National League South the following year.
Only days ago Dorking confirmed Jebb’s departure will come in June when his contract expires.
But Folkestone’s social media announcement preempted the news.
The midfielder’s new home, Folkestone, finished this season 16th in the Premier Isthmian League.
