Career[]
Gordon played for Dundee and Raith Rovers at youth level before John McGlynn took him to Hearts on a three-year contract, spending six months on loan at Arbroath during the 2014–15 season in the process.[1]
He signed for his boyhood heroes St Johnstone[2] in 2015,[3] moving on loan to Elgin City shortly afterwards.[4] He made his debut for St Johnstone in May 2016, starting in a 2–2 draw against Hearts.[5]
In January 2017, Gordon, along with fellow Saints defender Aaron Comrie, moved on loan to Scottish League One side Peterhead until the end of the 2016–17 season.[6]
In July 2019, Gordon was ruled out for up to six weeks after he fractured his elbow in training.[7] on 6 December 2020, he captained St Johnstone for the first time, in a 1–1 draw away to Celtic.[2]
