Eastleigh Football Club are thrilled to confirm the signing of midfielder Jordan Cousins following his departure from Cambridge United!

Cousins, 30, began his professional career at Charlton Athletic, progressing through the club’s youth system and signing his first professional contract in 2011. He made his senior debut for Charlton in August 2013 and went on to make over 125 appearances in all competitions for the club. During his time at Charlton, he was named the club’s Player of the Year for the 2014/15 season.

In July 2016, Cousins joined Queens Park Rangers, where he made 70 Championship appearances across three seasons. He then signed for Stoke City in June 2019, going on to feature 39 times during two campaigns in the second tier.

In June 2021, Cousins signed a two-year contract with Wigan Athletic, contributing to their promotion-winning League One season in 2021/22. After leaving Wigan in the summer of 2023, he joined Cambridge United, where he played during the 2023/24 and 2024/25 League One season.

Internationally, Cousins has represented England at youth level, featuring from U16 through to U20. He switched international allegiance to Jamaica, receiving a call-up in 2021 and earning senior international caps for the ‘Reggae Boyz’.

Cousins brings over a decade of experience across the EFL, with more than 250 senior appearances to his name, primarily in the Championship and League One.

Upon joining Eastleigh, Cousins commented: “It’s been a long period of negotiating, but I’m glad that it’s all done and I can concentrate on the football.”

“I kind of get a feeling for places and I knew when driving into the car park and seeing the facilities, the changing room, and the vibe around this place, I knew it was the place for me!”
