And the two-time promotion winner now hopes to put a tough season behind him and start banging in the goals again. “It was a bit of an up down season for me just gone,” said. “It was tough at MK, we didn’t have the greatest of seasons. https://www.chad.co.uk/sport/football/mansfield-town-sign-jordan-bowery-free-transfer-mk-dons-2891976 “I would like to have played more, but sometimes it doesn’t work out - that is football. “Our strikers were doing well and it was hard to get in and on the pitch. “Now I just want to step back and take a look at what I can do.

Welcome to Mansfield, Jordan. ----------------- https://therealefl.co.uk/2020/06/23/absolute-fraud-garbage-plenty-of-fans-react-as-mansfield-town-make-player-announcement/ Rather unsurprisingly, Mansfield Town were the first club to announce a summer signing yesterday with the arrival of former Crewe striker Jordan Bowery. The Stags are often at the forefront of League Two’s major transfer business and they were the first to announce a significant capture by announcing Bowery, son of former Nottingham Forest striker Bert, following his release from MK Dons. In past seasons, the Stags have spent well and although chairman John Radford is advocating a salary cap, they appear to be looking to take early advantage of the current crisis by snapping up talent. The 28-year-old scored just two goals in 22 appearances for MK Dons after leaving Crewe last summer. He bagged 20 league goals in 89 games for the Railwaymen, but had been something a journeyman prior to settling at Gresty Road. A former Chesterfield trainee, Bowery has previously had spells at Aston Villa, Rotherham United, Doncaster, Leyton Orient, Bradford City and Oxford United. His most prolific spell was at the Kassam, where he netted seven times in 17 league outings during a loan spell. The lack of goals, plus the uninspiring stint with MK ... -------------------- Jordan Bowery to Join Mansfield Town From MK Dons By Nat Goodlad, June 22 https://lastwordonfootball.com/2020/06/22/jordan-bowery-join-mansfield-town-from-mk-dons/ MK Dons striker Jordan Bowery will join League Two side Mansfield Town when the transfer window opens. The 28-year-old was not among the nine players released by the Dons last week as he still had a year to run on his contract. However, the two clubs have agreed terms for the player to make the move. The striker’s move from Crewe Alexandra last season was questioned by fans. He had scored eight goals in Crewe’s 2018/19 campaign and many thought that the step up to League One would be too big of a jump. It seems that the fans were proved right. Bowery scored just twice for the club in his 22 appearances, 16 of which came in the league. Both of these came in the opening two months of the season against Wycombe Wanderers and Sunderland when Paul Tisdale was still in charge. Bowery has not played for the club in 2020. The form of Rhys Healey, the emergence of Sam Nombe and the loan signing of Carlton Morris kept him out of the team. His last appearance for the club proved to be the 3-1 defeat to Gillingham on December 21, 2019. ---------------------- JORDAN BOWERY TO LEAVE MK DONS FOR MANSFIELD TOWN https://citiblog.co.uk/2020/06/22/jordan-bowery-to-leave-mk-dons-for-mansfield-town/ MK Dons have confirmed striker Jordan Bowery will leave the club and join Mansfield Town before next season begins. The player, who turns 29 next month, had initially been retained by MK Dons, but he leaves for the League 2 Stags after a single season playing for the Dons. Bowery’s move will officially be ratified when the transfer window opens. The attacker had joined MK Dons last summer on a free transfer from Crewe Alexandra. He played 22 times in all competitions, but was not seen since appearing as a substitute in a defeat by Gillingham just before Christmas. The Dons said, “The Club would like to thank Jordan for his contribution during his time at Stadium MK and wish him every success in the future.” --------------------- Bowery leaves Dons for Mansfield The striker departs after one season at the club By Toby Lock, Monday, 22nd June 2020 https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/sport/football/bowery-leaves-dons-mansfield-2891990 Jordan Bowery has agreed to join Leauge Two club Mansfield on a permanent basis. The striker made 22 appearances during his season at Stadium MK, scoring twice.
