Player Profile – Jordan Cox

---

Tell us who you are outside of the club. What do you do, how would you describe yourself?
I moved to London last year and work in HR for TfL. I get involved with anything in and around London and play a variety of sports. Hopefully I can say I’m a friendly lad having met some fantastic mates already. 

 

How did you end up at Merton FC?
Gresty. Played with him for the London transport team and got me involved with Merton training. 

 

What was your best moment in your MFC career till now?
It was only my first league game last Saturday having been injured for the start of the season, so I’d say learning the clubhouse rules as they will come in handy in the future. Also the club polo shirt proved to be a great taking point in the Wandle, even on Halloween. 

 

If you could play for a professional team, which would be it and why?
Liverpool. It’s a shame not to see a local lad in the current starting line up as the supporters really get behind them no matter what. 

 

Do you have any pre-match rituals or superstitions?
I used to demand the number 4 shirt as it was my first number when starting football but I’ve moved on. None for now. 

 

Lastly, share us your goals/expectations for the season.
At this moment, I need to get my fitness back and hopefully contribute towards a good run of games to get the 2s/3s up the table to make it exciting come the end of the season.
