Career

Jordan was born in Belfast and played for local side Willowfield where he was a decent defender. This attracted to attention of English club Stoke who signed Jordan in 1923. However, he failed to make it at the Victoria Ground and managed just two appearances in 1923–24 before joining Hull City.^[1] He never made it in the English game and after a short spell with Bristol Rovers he returned to Ireland with Dundalk.^[1]
