Irvine signed for the Boys in Brown in the summer of 2021 and soon established himself as a key member of the team, taking the captain’s armband and playing a major part in the club gaining promotion to the Bundesliga. His profile and visibility also increased significantly off the pitch during this time. Director of sport Andreas Bornemann : “When he came back from the World Cup, Jackson approached us with the request to make a move to Japan possible and after in-depth discussions we agreed to his request. We’d like to thank Jacko for his commitment over the last few years and wish him and his family all the best for the future.” Photo: FC St. Pauli
