Jordan Green (born 22 February 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for AFC Bournemouth.

He began his youth career at the Fulham academy but was released at the age of 16, spending the next four years playing non-league football. In 2015, he attended a trial with Bournemouth and was offered a one-year contract.[2]

Career

Green is a product of the Fulham academy, where he spent 5 years, before being released at the age of 16 as coaches deemed him too small, as he was only five-foot tall at the time.[2] Following his release, Green played non-league football for Phoenix before joining Southern Football League Division One side Banbury United in November 2014,[3] scoring four goals in 28 league appearances in the 2014–15 season.[4][5] During his time at the club, Green worked part-time in a local Waitrose supermarket as a shelf-stacker.[2][6]

Green had considered quitting football at the end of the season but his agent offered him a trial at Premier League side AFC Bournemouth in 2015.[7] Green funded the trial himself and impressed enough during training with under-21 coach Stephen Purches and friendly matches against Arsenal and Salisbury to be handed an initial one-year contract by the Cherries.[2][8]

In August 2016, Green joined Newport County on loan until 3 January 2017, along with Josh Sheehan,[9] making his senior debut the following day, on 9 August 2016, for Newport in a 3–2 defeat to Milton Keynes Dons in the Football League Cup as a 74th-minute substitute in place of Sean Rigg.[10] Green made his Football League debut on 13 August 2016 in the club's following match, being named in the starting line-up in a 1–0 victory over Leyton Orient, playing over an hour before being replaced by Jazzi Barnum-Bobb.[11] Green scored his first goal for Newport on 30 August 2016 during a 4–1 defeat to Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Trophy.[12]

On 31 January 2017, Green joined League Two side Leyton Orient on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season.[13] However, Green was unable to be registered by the club due to "a failure to request his return papers from the Welsh FA following the conclusion of the original loan".[14]
