Jordan has joined Walsall after his contract was not extended by Charlton.
The 24 year old was never really given a chance at the Valley and was possibly quite a strange signing in the first place. He started off at Sunderland where he progressed through their youth system before signing professional terms in 2009. In an attempt to get experience behind him, Sunderland moved him on to league 2 outfit Darlington on loan, but it wasn’t long before he sustained a serious cruciate knee injury. He made his senior debut for Sunderland against Manchester United in a 2-0 defeat on Boxing Day 2010, and also played in a defeat at home to Chelsea.
March 2011 saw another loan-this time to his new employer, Walsall, scoring one goal in 8 appearances before returning to Sunderland.
This was followed by a loan move to Carlisle United in January 2012 on a one month loan deal, eventually playing 14 games and scoring 4 goals. At the end on the 2011/12 season Sunderland released him and he was signed by Charlton, making 10 appearance without managing to hit the net. During this period Charlton farmed him out to Yeovil, where he made just one appearance.
His professional career since 2009 involves just 41 appearances, and 5 goals.
I’m sure all Charlton Athletic fans wish him all the best, and hope he is able to get his career back on track.
