Youth career

Jordan was eight when he joined Aston Villa. An exciting wide player, he progressed through the age groups in the Villa academy before making a big impression with the youth team during his debut season as a scholar, finding the net on seven occasions. In 2012-13, he contributed strongly as Villa won the Under-19 NextGen Series. The following season, Graham enjoyed his first taste of senior professional football with loan stints at Ipswich Town and Bradford City. On 27 November 2014 he joined Wolves, initially on loan, having been on trial there for a short period. His appearances during the loan were severely restricted by a muscle injury, but nonetheless on 5 January 2015 he signed a permanent deal.

He was surprisingly left out of the next first-team pre-season fitness camp, and almost seemed in limbo for the first few weeks of the season. On 28 September he joined league two club Oxford United on a month's loan. This went well, and an extension was agreed, only for Wolves to recall Jordan because of an injury to Rajiv van La Parra. After sitting on the first team bench twice he was then left out of the squad, but he finally made his Wolves first team debut in the Championship on 21 November 2015, in a 2-2 draw at Ipswich Town.

International

Jordan has represented the Republic of Ireland at Under-15 level and England at Under-16 and Under-17 level.
