Club career

Hamilton Academical

Gordon made his professional debut for Hamilton Academical on 1 February 2011, in a 0–2 defeat against St Johnstone in the Scottish Premier League.[1] He signed a new two-year contract extension in April 2012.[2]

Before the start of the 2012–13 season, Gordon stated his determination to become a first-team regular.[3] In November 2012, Gordon stated that he believed the club's position in the league table was not merited by their recent performances,[4] while in January 2013 he stated that recent results were not a reflection of recent performances.[5] In February 2013 he stated that the club's upcoming "hectic" game schedule was not concerning.[6] On 5 March 2013, in a league game against Morton, Gordon scored his first goal for the club.[7] Gordon was awarded the 'Man of the Match' award for his performance in that game.[8] Gordon later commented that he hoped his goal, and the victory, would spur the team onto a good run of form in the league.[9] Gordon was named Hamilton's Player of the Year for the 2012–13 season.[10]

Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Gordon talked about the importance of home advantage in the forthcoming campaign.[11] He signed a new two-year contract extension in February 2014.[12] In April 2014 he was selected to the 2013–14 Championship PFA Scotland Team of the Year, alongside Hamilton teammates Anthony Andreu and Ali Crawford.[13]

In January 2015 the club rejected a transfer bid for Gordon from Polish club Jagiellonia Białystok.[14] In May 2016 it was announced that Gordon would leave the club at the end of the season.[15]

Partick Thistle

Gordon signed for Partick Thistle in July 2016.[16]

Poland

Gordon signed Jagiellonia Białystok in January 2017.[17] He left the Ekstraklasa club in January 2018 as his contract was mutually terminated.[18] Gordon signed for Pogoń Siedlce in February 2018.[19]

Return to Hamilton

Gordon returned to Hamilton Academical in June 2018, signing a one-year contract.[20] He left the club following the expiry of his contract.[21]

In May 2019 it was announced he would sign for Romanian club Dinamo București.[22][23] However, in June 2019 the deal was cancelled.[24]

Central Coast Mariners

Gordon joined A-League club Central Coast Mariners in June 2019.[25] In November 2020, Gordon signed a one-year contract extension with the club.[26] Despite this, a month later he departed the club.[27]

Western Sydney Wanderers

In December 2020, after leaving Central Coast Mariners, Gordon joined Western Sydney Wanderers.[28] He left the club in May 2022.[29]

International career

He made his international debut for Scotland U19 in May 2011.[30]

Personal life

Gordon is of Polish descent. His mother Barbara's family hail from Kraków, meaning he is also eligible to represent Poland at international level.[31]

In May 2017 he criticised coaching standards in Scottish football, stating that Polish coaches were far advanced.[32] His claims were dismissed by Scottish coaches Ian McCall and Tam McManus.[33]

He was a national champion in chess as a child, choosing to concentrate on football after youth matches clashed with tournaments in the board game at weekends.[34][35]
