Has joined Fylde.
Cheers

The full story is on the club's official website now.

ffs - ive gone from thinking possibly push for top half to i'd take finishing fourth from bottom .He was very important to our style of play .Finding someone similar will be tough.

That's relegation assured then. >:( >:(

This is the perennial problem with supporting a team like Alty, as soon as someone gets noticed by other teams with bigger pockets, they're on their way. First JJ, now Jordan. The season is devalued before its even started for me now.
-
sh*t happens Onward and upwards.. I’m sure Phil and Neil will have irons in the fire,
Well done Jordon you will be missed .
Hope your Mum & Dad still drop in to watch Alty when they can..

Great! I got a Hulme 9 shirt!

I know people will be sore and a bit shocked but come on it's a fact of footballing life. When JJ left it was sack cloth and ashes on here - what happened then? For Fylde not to want to disclose the fee after their embarrassing show and tell over Ryan Croasdale's wages and given Jordan signed a new contract a few weeks ago where there will have been a release clause, it'll be serious £. We need to see how PP and NS go about using it now - if past experience is anything to go by, I'm confident.
It's not the start we wanted, obviously, but this season was always going to be a fight anyway, it's just got a bit more difficult sooner than we'd have wanted that's all.

This is peak altyfans. Shut the forum down, we'll never top this.

If a player who’s 30 wants to go in to semi retirement at a comfortable level then good luck to them. Squads evolve, we have plenty of transfer money to install a conference quality forward.
-

Don't talk through your backside.
Have a bit of faith in the management.
I'm confident it will be for the best. If he's had his head turned how committed would he have been in our fight this season? We don't know how much the club got so we need to wait and see who PP brings on board.
I think, although he'd signed a two year deal, it would have had a release clause which fylde met.
Big money I'm guessing. If we get a big wedge and he gets the full time deal he craves, so be it.
I'm disappointed with him though after being thought by Salford not to be up to the National League, he would be driven to prove them wrong with a club which has taken him to their heart.
Never mind. Good luck Jordan and thanks for the memories.

:D :D :D Yes, a little OTT!
I am sure Jordan has done what he thinks is the best for him and I am sure we have got a decent amount of money....BUT...is Jordan most likely to get noticed playing in the National or the National North?
If he had gone to a bigger club or a club at a higher level I could understand more - with Jordan I would have thought it would be about more than the money!
I wish you well Jordan and thank you for your great performances at Alty and know that you were as passionate in your last match as the first (i.e. arguing with the ref! LOL), but I cannot say I am not disappointed!
-
Love Jordan and wish him all the best at Fylde but I hope York pull off a miracle and win the league.
Cheers

It would be less painful if our better players left to join bigger clubs playing at higher levels.

Jordan Hulme Joins The Coasters!
https://www.afcfylde.co.uk/jordan-hulme-joins-the-coasters/ (https://www.afcfylde.co.uk/jordan-hulme-joins-the-coasters/)
We are delighted to announce the signing of prolific forward, Jordan Hulme.
The striker arrives at Mill Farm from National League side, Altrincham FC for an undisclosed fee, on a one-year contract, with a further year option in the clubs favour.
The 29-year-old played against Jim Bentley’s side the pre-season friendly last weekend, which ended 2-2, but will now be switching changing rooms going forward.
With 139 career appearances to his name whilst at Alty and 70 goals to show for that, the striker arrives with a strong reputation in the game. He will now be looking to bring his experience and confidence to the club, following a promotion winning season from National League North during 2019/20.
Described on altrinchamfc.com as ‘one of Alty’s leading lights’, Jordan is a player that the management and recruitment team have been tracking for some time. The staff at Mill Farm have spoken openly of their ‘delight’ in adding vital firepower to the forward areas, in the shape of the former Salford City, Ramsbottom and Padiham FC striker.
Speaking to afcfylde.co.uk, Jordan said: “I’m honestly over the moon. It’s a chance to get back into full-time football and see what I can do when I’m training every day, it’s a dream come true and I can’t wait to get going.
“I’m here to win, I’m a winner. I don’t like playing football unless I’m winning games and trying to win leagues.”
Jim Bentley was delighted to secure another key target for his side, telling afcfylde.co.uk: “Jordan has a fantastic goal record throughout his career and even more so over the last three years with Altrincham. He’s got over 20 goals in each of the last three years, so he absolutely knows where the net is. He has been keen to get back into full-time football and we can offer him that here.
“He’s another good character, which is what we want, and he’s also extremely hard-working so he will lead the line well. He’s competitive, scores goals and we needed another option up-top with Kurt Willoughby being our only other out and out centre forward. Jordan is another welcome addition!”

Great post. We make two or three right signings then this transfer maybe a blessing. As a striker he is past his peak.
I am gutted, because he is a character, he has passion and his hold up play and off the ball was very good, but we may need some more pace in this league.
Thank god we still have Hancock, he is our biggest player.
-
It would be less painful if our better players left to join bigger clubs playing at higher levels.
Abso-fraggin-lutely dammit!
Surely he will be noticed more by big clubs at National national rather than National North!

He managed to get noticed and I daresay has a higher profile already than many national league players whilst being in national north. A club with a very wealthy backer has offered him a deal he can't turn down and we will get a good chunk of money after he has given us excellent service. Fair dos, we move on.
-
Absolutely gutted to open Twitter to this news - however as was proven with JJ, I'm sure the move will benefit all parties.
Every player has his price, and I have every faith that this will be reinvested in the right way.
Thanks Jordan and good luck.
-
Sh#t happens Very disappointed but we move on and say thank you to Jordan for the last three years.I have every confidence Phil and Neil will bring in a top striker sooner rather than later.
-
So we start the new season without our two best goalscorers. I understand Jordan's logic, and wish him well, but it could hardly be more badly timed.
-
Well they say a picture paints a thousand words just looking at the pictures of Jordan on AFC Flyde website and to say he doesn't look happy is an understatement

Very good post this-let’s be clear Hancock is a much better footballer than Hulme. Granted he’ll be hard to replace but the 40k or so Fylde will have given us should soften the blow. If Fylde do go up this season he’ll be 31 by the time he samples the 5th tier so I also think we’ve had the best of him. The current management & squad I trust 100% & whilst we’ll have some tough times the club is much bigger than one money motivated individual so for me it’s onwards & upwards.
-
Bugga :'(
-
Good luck to Jordan and thanks for all his efforts and successes but the timing of this is awful.
The saving grace is that Phil Parkinson and Neil Sorvel have shown, following JJ's transfer, that they can use transfer money to very good effect in getting good and even better reinforcements. This is still a huge blow, though, and I have seen no evidence he is past his peak.
-
Does the transfer window apply to NL? Do we only have until Monday to get a replacement in? Clayton, Peers or Ceesay at 9 tomorrow?
-

We'll need Ceesay out wide with Mooney injured and Kosylo probably in Hancock's role. I'm not sure about Clayton as an out and out striker, so I suppose we'll have to hope Peers can step up.
-
Kosylo 10, Ceesay and Peers wide and Clayton up top will be today's team surely?
-
I personally take heart from what happened with JJ when he left. The club did not suffer in any way, but we have some great players in our squad who I am confident they will step up to the plate. Not least York's nemesis Tom Peers. If I was Tom I would seize this opportunity given, to be our main man up front. Tom, we have every confidence in you mate, go for it! We also still have the likes of Matty Kosylo and Max Clayton. Believe me, we are still a force to be reckoned with, and that is before Phil and Neil start spending. My guess is they already have irons in the fire, so to speak.
I also wish Jordan the best of luck and thanks for what are now memories, we move on like we did with JJ.
-
Unfortunate timing though it is, I think it's hard to begrudge Jordan the opportunity he has to play F/T at Fylde or, indeed, the Club for taking up the offer. I agree with another post on here that refers to the onwards and upwards progression of the team after the departure of JJ, despite the gloom-laded posts at the time. I think, too, that the prospect f playing for Alty will appeal to a great number of talented players, given how well run and managed the Club is at present. Unsettling certainly though it is, it's an opportunity to move forward and inject new blood.
-
Just a thought, but is it possible management already have another signing lined up and therefore happy to let Hulme leave? Might seem overly optimistic but surely a possibility.
-
It's always a possibility Baht'at although with a two season contract you would have thought things were fairly stable in that area.
I wish Jordan good luck in his attempt to make the football league.
I thought he had his best season last season tying up the opponents defenders and not managing to get too many cards at the same time.
He was easily the best number 9 we've had for the last ten seasons.
Just hope we can quickly find a way forward without him.
-
Yes, I agree. Will be a big miss but wish Hulme best of luck with his new club.
We’ve got some good forward options already though with potential for another addition now too, so still many reasons to be positive.
-
When does our transfer window close ?
-
Not sure, but it could be 16th October like between EFL and the Prem for noninternational deals?
-
This isn’t the first time Jordan Hulme has dropped down a level to play at a side throwing money about trying to get promoted from the league below. Albeit when he joined us it wasn’t the eve of the season, and he hadn’t recently committed himself elsewhere for the next two years.
I just hope (for Jordan’s sake) that the money he is being offered at Fylde is good enough to ease away any future thoughts of what ‘could have been’, having now sold off the best opportunity he’s going to get of testing himself at National level.
Hopefully we can now get in a proven goal scorer at this level to play up top with the funds available.
-

If you're right there's only a fortnight to sort out a suitable candidate.
-
Dont know if the paperwork wasn't done in time but hes not in matchday squad today
-
I was shocked and surprised when I heard this as I really thought Jordan was an Alty loyalist. I am not sure this will prove to be a good move for him, and it does suggest his ambition is maybe burned out, and he wants to cash in for his last few seasons playing. I get that and I am sure it wasn't an easy decision for him to make - just disappointed to see him go - he was brilliant for us - as good as any striker we have had in the last 30 years - and I was so looking forward to him making National League defences look like clowns

Jordan was an Alty loyalist. In March when he appeared on the Non League Lounge podcast he said that there was huge interest from Chester same time as JJ but he did not join them out of respect and repayment to Parky for what he had done for Jordan over the last three years. He talked about a mutual loyalty in football. However, I guess that goes out the window when it's full time football and big money on the table which I don't think anyone can blame him for. Much different situation to JJ who joined a direct rival for promotion (ha) halfway through the season, combined with the smugness that the deal was done with on Chester's end.

You’re right about that. Jordan took the money to drop down a level, unlike JJ. Which is fair enough if the money was good enough, but it wasn’t through misguided ambition. A “loyalist” is probably stretching it a bit.

He's liked a tweet by Sean Miller suggesting he might have been disappointed the club accepted a bid for him in the first place.
I think it's unfair to throw the moneygrabbing thing at him, when in truth that works both ways. We didn't have to accept a bid.
-
didn't I read somewhere earlier that the offer triggered a release clause?
-

I am sure they met his release clause.
-
I think Jordan may have been surprised that we didn't fight harder to keep him but then again, if it was 40K for a lad nearly 30, you can hardly blame the club, can you? We can only hope that the management have identified replacements and more importantly, that they are available.

If the release clause was triggered the club were duty bound to let Fylde speak to him and / or his agent. After that it was Jordan's decision.
-
In his column in yesterday's online match programme, Rob Esteva made a point of wishing Jordan all the very best at Fylde and said no-one at the club had a bad word to say about him, before adding, in the interests of clarity:
'Ultimately though, the deal is a good one for the football club and a good one for Jordan, who made it clear to us, in our talks with him, that it was something he had to do and he wanted to leave.'

Fair enough if there was a release clause, just playing Devil's Advocate that's all, and seeing things from his point of view.
Someone does need to have a quick word with him about putting a farewell statement together - big three years for him and all I've seen him doing is waving a Fylde scarf around at the moment.
-
He put a tweet out saying 'thanks for 3 great years at Alty, back where you belong and Im leaving you the capable hands of Tom Peers up top'
Taking the piss basically.
Hope he was a tad more grateful for getting him out the gutter to our management team and directors
-
There is no doubt he has downgraded his legacy for want of a sincere acknowledgement that he has his dream of full time football because PP the club and the fans stuck with him and gave him 100% support.
Alty and jordan did very well out of each other..
Most of us acknowledge that.
He can leave as a legend or not.
At the moment he has just left under a bit of a cloud.
Great shame.
Will fylde fans see his tweeted appeal for ramsbottom fc and donate??

I agree with Stockport.
It's a patting on the head. Tom has barely kept challenged him for his place. To single out a player is unusual.
Poor comment by Hulme.

Although I think he could have put a little more effort into his leaving statement (even JJ did) - for example James Jones' was excellent - I do think Jordan really meant it and is very fond of the memories he has at Alty.
-
Naturally I am disappointed that Jordan has left Alty for pastures new. However, he has not jumped a sinking ship or anything like that, but has chosen now to move on whilst we are in a good place. It has been a great adventure for the last three years and Jordan has undoubtedly been influential in bringing about our return to National League football. He demonstrated his loyalty to the club when Chester FC came after him (on more than one occasion I think I might add) and he always gave 110% on the field of play showing the true grit and a determination needed to assist the team to win consistently, and in many games, impressively. I certainly do not begrudge his decision to move on and I wish him all the very best. I think his remark about Tom Peers is just a bit of banter and, anyway, I have been impressed with the way in which Tom gets himself into goal scoring positions and when he begins to find the net I think that he may become a prolific scorer.
So, the Alty adventure continues. The club is greater than any one player and I am sure that if it were not for a non-disclosure agreement preventing so, most supporters would be satisfied to learn the fee that we have received for Jordan. The money could be a life saver given the current state of affairs surrounding football and although I think that perhaps we should not be in any great hurry to spend it yet, it would be a real coup if we could use some of the money to offer Duncan a short term deal. :)

We need to. Any PPG nonsense and we need to ensure we're not at risk of being relegated off the field.
We spent a hell of a lot to get through the playoffs. We spent a lot getting back here after NPL relegation. We need to ensure none of that is wasted.
If covid kicks in, we can, I'm sure, rally round quite quickly as a club. To not spend (on the right player) soon could be disastrous.

Jordan Hulme has never played in the highest division of Non League football, so I'm not sure that equivalent comparisons can be drawn with the respective goalscoring records at Alty of the likes of Ken McKenna, Colin Little, Damian Reeves and, for that matter, Andy Green.
-
Jordan has been a great servant to the club and I'll remember him that way. McKenna, Revees, Little etc a class above.
I enjoyed watching Jordan play and his character was infectious.
Thank you so much and like most players your career must come first (that includes providing for his family).
-
I’m one of Duncan’s biggest admirers however, I think talk of him playing for Alty again are optimistic to say the least, he has far bigger fish to fry nowadays.

Indeed, we will never know.
Sir Colin Little regularlt featured as one of the league's top scorers in a team finishing in the relegation places. Far too good to be playing part time football.

The board have said that the money from Jordans sale will be available to PP,so what is happening with regards a replacement??????

They also said they wouldn't rush into a replacement and take their time to get it right.
And no-one expects a running commentary on the process either.

And we're winning 1-0 with a Tom Peers goal today anyway.

Knowing what we know about Messrs Parkinson and Sorvel it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't have a wish list of players for every position even before Jordan decided to leave. How many times have we heard them say "we've been after so and so for a long time"?

Don't all (or at least the vast majority of) managers say that?

Spot on - just because we don't hear anything, doesn't mean nothing's happening.
I'm guessing in terms of loan options, clubs are probably still deciding if players are going to be part of their squad plans for now.

Remember that Parkie has a very good record of getting excellent replacements in!
