Professional Career
2024 / North Texas SC (MLS NEXT Pro)
Gordon made the move to FC Dallas’ MLS NEXT Pro side North Texas SC in 2024 and was named team captain ahead of a season in which he played a total of 1,826 minutes across 22 appearances. He also contributed to five shutouts, anchoring a defense that allowed just 32 goals on the season – the second-fewest in the league en route to securing the MLS NEXT Pro Cup and becoming the first team in league history to finish the season undefeated at home. Gordon’s impressive performances throughout the trophy-winning campaign also caught the attention of a multitude of coaches and executives across MLS NEXT Pro, leading to the defender being named to the league’s end-of-season Best XI.
2020-2024 / Birmingham City F.C. (England)
Gordon’s professional soccer journey began when he joined Birmingham City’s academy in 2014 where he quickly progressed through the club’s youth ranks. He captained the U-18 side for the 2019-20 season, leading them to the Round of 16 in the FA Youth Cup. The Birmingham, England native then signed his first professional contract with Birmingham City F.C. on June 26, 2020, and made his professional debut the following day in an EFL Championship match against Hull City. He earned his first pro start later that season on July 12 against Stoke City amidst 15 total Championship appearances. Gordon scored his first goal for his hometown club in a 2-1 win over Bristol City on March 5, 2022. He also featured in the first-round of the 2021-22 Carabao Cup, appearing against Colchester United.
International Career (Montserrat)
Gordon received his first senior cap for Montserrat on September 9, 2023 in a CONCACAF Nations League match against Barbados. From there, Gordon went on to receive multiple call-ups to the Montserrat Men’s National Team throughout 2024. The first was in March for a pair of friendlies against Antigua, before being called up again in June for the first two matches of 2024 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Nicaragua and Panama. He then received two call-ups for additional Nations League play in September and November, in which he participated in matches against El Salvador and St. Vincent. Gordon has amassed 12 caps for the Emerald Boys with over 1,000 minutes played through the 2024 campaign.
