Jordan Green's Football Journey
Jordan Green grew up playing football in the Fulham youth academy. He spent five years learning and training there. However, when he was 16, the coaches decided he was too small. At that time, he was only five feet tall. So, he left the club.
After leaving Fulham, Jordan played for non-league teams. He played for Phoenix in the Central Midlands League. In November 2014, he joined Banbury United. This club was in the Southern Football League Division One. During the 2014–15 season, he scored four goals in 26 league games. While playing for Banbury United, Jordan also worked part-time. He stacked shelves at a local Waitrose supermarket.
Playing for AFC Bournemouth
At the end of the 2014–15 season, Jordan thought about quitting football. But his agent helped him get a trial with Premier League team AFC Bournemouth in 2015. Jordan paid for his own trial. He trained with the under-21 coach, Stephen Purches. He also played well in friendly matches against Arsenal and Salisbury. Because he impressed them, Bournemouth offered him a one-year contract.
In August 2016, Jordan joined Newport County on loan. He stayed there until January 2017. He made his first senior team appearance on 9 August 2016. This was for Newport in a Football League Cup game against Milton Keynes Dons. He came on as a substitute in the 74th minute.

This was in an EFL Trophy match against Plymouth Argyle. He played a total of sixteen games for Newport County during this loan.
On 31 January 2017, Jordan went on loan again. He joined Leyton Orient, a League Two team. This loan was supposed to last until the end of the 2016–17 season. However, he could not play for Leyton Orient. There was a problem with getting his transfer papers from the Welsh FA.
