Club career[]
Young began his career at Swindon Town, joining the youth set up at the age of eight, and turned down the chance to join Chelsea's Academy in November 2011.[3] He was called up to the Scotland under-15s in April 2014.[4] He made his debut in the Football League on 2 February 2016, coming on for Jermaine Hylton 62 minutes into a 1–0 defeat to Port Vale at Vale Park.[5] Young then made his home debut and scored his first professional goal in the last game of the 2015–16 season against Shrewsbury Town.[6]
He spent the last two months of the 2018–19 season on loan at Highworth Town, scoring six goals from eight appearances in the Southern League Division One South,[7] and was released by Swindon at its end.[8]
On 16 August 2019, after a successful trial, Young signed a one-year contract with League One club Coventry City.[9] He made his debut as an 86th minute substitute in an EFL Trophy game v Southampton. This would be his one and only senior appearance for Coventry.
In December 2020, Jordan joined National League North side Gloucester City on a one-month loan deal.[10]
On 12 May 2021 it was announced that he would leave Coventry at the end of the season, following the expiry of his contract.[11]
Following his release from Coverntry, Young returned to Gloucester City on a one-year deal.[12]
Young joined Chippenham Town in February 2022, on a undisclosed fee from Gloucester, following a brief loan period [13]
