Andrew Joseph Jordan (born 14 December 1979 in Manchester) is an English-born Scottish former professional footballer and Scotland under-21 international,[1] who made 21 appearances in The Football League between 1997 and 2005. He is the son of former Scotland international Joe Jordan and the brother of Tom Jordan.[2]
Career
Jordan began his career as a trainee at Bristol City where he made eleven league appearances.[3] He scored once goal for Bristol City; his goal coming in a League Cup tie against Nottingham Forest in September 1999.[4] In October 2000 he joined Cardiff City for a fee of £30,000, making his debut in a 4–0 victory over York City on 4 November 2000. However after a handful of first team appearances, during which he scored two own goals,[5][6] Jordan was struck by injury which severely restricted his remaining time at Ninian Park as he remained sidelined for two years and was allowed to leave the club in May 2003.[7]
After talks with Cardiff's South Wales rivals Swansea City,[8] Jordan joined Hartlepool United in July 2003. He made his debut on the opening day of the 2003–04 season in a 4–3 win over Peterborough United on 8 August 2003.[9] Having made just six first-team appearances for the side, Jordan was again struck by injury and subsequently retired from professional football.[2]
