Jordan Smith, born on 8 December 1994 in England, is currently a goalkeeper for Hibernian. At an imposing 6ft tall (1.85m) and weighing in at 11st 9lb (74kg), he dons the number 13 jersey on his back.
Smith's football journey began in July 2013 when he joined Nottingham Forest as a trainee. His break into first team football came during the 2016-2017 season where he made 15 first team appearances in league matches. With the passing of each season, his commitments at Nottingham Forest grew, especially during the 2017-2018 season where he made 29 appearances. However, the subsequent seasons saw his first team participation dip with only two appearances in the 2019-2020 season and one during the 2020-2021 season.
Looking to broaden his experiences, Smith was loaned out to Barnsley in November 2018 and returned to Nottingham Forest at the completion of his loan spell. This interchange between clubs became a pattern for Smith who was again loaned out in January 2019, this time to Mansfield Town before returning to Nottingham Forest six months later.
As the year 2023 dawned, history would repeat itself one last time as Smith was loaned to Huddersfield Town in January, only to move permanently to Stockport County six months later. His stint with Stockport County was brief as his services were sought after by Scottish Premiership club, Hibernian, in July 2024.
Although Smith has yet to make any first team appearances in league matches for Hibernian in the current 2024-2025 season, he has already begun a rather promising start, making his mark in the League Cup with one start for his new team.
