Jordan Green (born 22 February 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Newport County in League Two, on loan from 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 31 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]
