Jabo Oshevire Michael Ibehre (born 28 January 1983) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for League Two club Cambridge United.
Ibehre made over 200 appearances for Leyton Orient between 2000 and 2008, before moving onto Walsall. A successful season with Walsall resulted in a move to Milton Keynes Dons in 2009. Ibehre's spell with the Dons saw him in and out of the first-team as he was sent out on loan on three occasions with Southend United, and Colchester United. After an impressive loan stint with Colchester, Ibehre permanently signed for the U's in January 2013. He was later loaned out by Colchester to Oldham Athletic and Barnsley, and then Carlisle United on a permanent basis in 2015. Ibehre has been capped by England at youth level.
Ibehre was born in Islington, London. He grew up as an Arsenal fan, and began his professional career at Leyton Orient at the age of 13. He turned down the opportunity to join Tottenham Hotspur at the age of 15 to remain with the O's, where he progressed through their youth system, before making his full debut at the age of 17. His first match saw him replace Wim Walschaerts after 85 minutes on 7 March 2000 as the O's fell to a 2–1 Division Three defeat to Northampton Town at Sixfields Stadium. He played two further games in the 1999–2000 season, with substitute appearances away to Swansea City and Hull City.
