Exploring the Path2Pro with Jordan Skelton, Des Moines Menace

Down To The Roots Soccer Podcast

In this episode, I speak with central defender of the Des Moines Menace, Jordan Skelton. Before coming over to the United States, Jordan was part of the Gateshead FC Development Academy and the England Schoolboys, competing internationally for his country. We discuss Jordan's career at Lander University as well as how his summers spent in USL League 2 with Missippi Brilla FC in the #Path2Pro model have benefited his professional and personal aspirations on the soccer field and beyond. After signing his first professional contract with South Georgia Tormenta, Jordan had the opportunity last summer to play in USL League 1. Lastly, we finish by discussing how a move back to USL Two with the Des Moines Menace this summer rejuvenated him and his love for the beautiful game.
