Club career


Gordon was born in the London Borough of Croydon and played for the youth teams of Fulham and AFC Wimbledon when he was a youngster and subsequently joined Carshalton Athletic.[3] He played for the first team in January 2016 as a sixteen-year-old due to an injury crisis, but was sent off for a second booking in a 7–1 defeat to Ramsgate in the Isthmian League Division One South.[4] He later joined the Dagenham & Redbridge academy and signed his first professional contract with the club on 7 July 2017.[5] He started the 2017–18 season on loan at National League South side Whitehawk and remained there for three months until November.[6] In January 2018, he went on a one-month loan to Isthmian League Premier Division side Hendon along with Joe White.[7]

He made his first team debut for Dagenham on 19 April 2018, scoring the second goal in a 5–3 victory away at Guiseley.[8] In February 2019, he signed a new one-year contract with the option of a further year after an impressive first half of the season.[9]


Bolton Wanderers


On 1 August 2020 he signed for Bolton Wanderers on a two-year deal.[10] His debut came on 5 September in Bolton's first match of the season, a 2–1 home defeat against Bradford in the first round of the EFL Cup.[11] On 17 December 2020 he was loaned to former team Dagenham & Redbridge for a month.[12] He made his second debut two days later when he started against Ebbsfleet United in a 5–2 win in the FA Trophy.[13] On 19 January 2021, the loan was extended to the end of the 2020–21 season.[14] On 3 May 2022, Bolton confirmed that he would be released at the end of his contract.[15]


Walsall


On 25 May 2022, Gordon agreed to join League Two side Walsall on a two-year deal upon the expiration of his Bolton contract.[16] During pre-season he was diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome, which nearly resulted in his leg being amputated. He was able to overcome this life threatening condition and continue his career.[17]


International career


He made his Guyana national football team debut on 6 June 2019 in a friendly against Bermuda, as a starter.[18] He was then selected for the country's 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup final 23-man squad after it was whittled down from forty players.[19]
