He then embarked on a series of loan moves before being released by Bournemouth, leading to permanent transfers to other clubs and a return to Weymouth.
1.1. AFC Bournemouth and early career
Born in Bournemouth, Dorset, Jordan started his career with local side AFC Bournemouth at the age of seven in the youth team. His dedication led him to progress through the ranks, and in March 2016, he signed his first professional contract with the club.
