Jesse Nwabueze joins the Stones

Jesse, a promising young centre-forward who joins the club after a spell at Bath City and having come through the Ipswich Town academy.

The 21‑year-old striker, began his journey in the youth setup at Crystal Palace before joining Ipswich Town’s academy in October 2020. During his time at Portman Road he featured regularly for the U18s and U21s, earned valuable experience on loan at clubs including Bury Town, Stowmarket Town, and Felixstowe & Walton United, and even appeared in a first‑team friendly against Shakhtar Donetsk.

In February 2025, Jesse signed for Bath City in the National League South to continue his development, making his debut against Chelmsford City.

Manager George Elokobi commented:

“We’re very pleased to bring Jesse into our setup. He’s a forward with real potential—strong, mobile and determined. We believe he can develop significantly here and contribute to our promotion push.”
