Matlock Town Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Dutch midfielder Jed Abbey.
The powerful 24-year-old arrives at the Proctor Cars Stadium with an impressive pedigree and a wealth of experience across the National League system, becoming the latest addition to the Gladiators’ squad ahead of the new season.
Standing at 6ft 4, Abbey began his career in the academy at Wolverhampton Wanderers before going on to represent Alvechurch, South Shields, Alfreton Town and, most recently, Marine AFC.
During the 2024/25 campaign, Abbey enjoyed an outstanding season with Alfreton Town, finishing as the club’s leading goalscorer with 11 goals from midfield, underlining his ability to influence matches at both ends of the pitch.
A dynamic and versatile player, Abbey is capable of operating in a variety of roles. Comfortable in central midfield, he can also play further forward as an attacking midfielder or out wide, offering the Gladiators quality, physicality and creativity across the midfield.
His arrival further strengthens the Matlock Town squad, adding proven quality, experience and a genuine goal threat ahead of the forthcoming campaign.
Everyone at Matlock Town Football Club is thrilled to welcome Jed to the Proctor Cars Stadium and looks forward to seeing him in blue this season.
Welcome to Matlock Town, Jed!
