English professional footballer who is of Nigerian descent has claimed that he is currently battling to cope with depression and has found himself in a dark place in what is an heartbreaking revelation.

Jordon Ibe is currently on the books of Championship side Derby County and has played only one game so far for the side under former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

In fact, Jordon Ibe has not been included in Derby County's team for games since December 26 last year which is not a good one for the ex-Liverpool man.

In March last year, Jordon Ibe was banned from driving in the United Kingdom for 16 months after using his car to damage a coffee shop in London.

According to the report on Daily Mail, Jordon Ibe has tendered an apology for the incident and has promised to work on himself.

''I want to apologise to all my fans around the world,' he wrote. I've find myself in a dark place, due to suffering with depression. It's no scheme for the media or to have my name in your mouths, I just find things hard truly.

''I appreciate all the love and messages from everyone. Times are hard in general due to this pandemic. I have the full support from my family and Derby County football club.

''I will fix myself and this situation, which I'm 100 per cent committed to. Not only for my family, close friend or my daughter but for me.''
