Former Blue Spence Joins ADO Den Haag - Ipswich Town News

Former Blues right-back Jordan Spence has joined Alan Pardew’s ADO Den Haag in the Netherlands on a deal to the end of the season.

The 29-year-old, who spent time with the side third-bottom of the Eredivisie (the Dutch top tier) at a training camp in Spain earlier this month, was released by the Blues at the end of last season and has been without a club since then.

The Londoner made 69 starts and seven sub appearances for Town, scoring four times, having signed in January 2017 following a trial earlier that season.

Spence was a young player at West Ham during Pardew's time in charge at Upton Park.

"It was good to see that the team won last weekend. Hopefully this victory will be the start of a nice second half of the season.”
