Jordan Graham (born 5 March 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers as a winger. Graham has represented both England and the Republic of Ireland at youth level. He is a product of the Aston Villa Academy, having spent twelve years there as a junior.
Career
Graham is a product of the Aston Villa youth academy and was a member of their NextGen Series winning side in the 2012–13 season.[2] He signed a professional contract with Villa in March 2012.[3]
In November he joined Ipswich Town on loan, where he made his professional debut on 7 December 2013 in a 2–1 win over Huddersfield.[4] Graham also made an appearance in the victory over Doncaster Rovers before he returned to Villa at the end of December 2013.[5]
On 10 January 2014 he joined League One side Bradford City on a one-month loan deal,[6] for whom he made one appearance: against his future club Wolverhampton Wanderers on 1 February 2014.[7]
The winger joined Wolverhampton Wanderers, now returned to the Championship, in November 2014 on loan until the January transfer window.[8] Injury prevented him from making any appearances during this loan period,[9] but he signed a permanent 18-month deal with the club on 5 January 2015 for an undisclosed fee.[10]
After failing to make a first-team appearance for Wolves, he was sent on a month-long loan to League Two side Oxford United in September 2015.[11] Following a successful initial month, his loan was extended by two months,[12] but a few days later he was recalled by Wolves after an injury crisis at his parent club.[13]
Graham scored his first goal in his club career for Wolverhampton Wanderers on 28 December 2015 in the 52nd minute of a Championship game against Charlton Athletic at The Valley.[14] He suffered torn knee ligaments during a game against Cardiff City on 16 January 2016 and is expected to be out of the game for at least nine months.[15]
He is signed to Wolves until summer 2018 (with the club having the option of two additional years).[16]
International career
Graham has played for the England U16 side, being part of the squad that retained the 2010–11 Victory Shield.[17] He has also represented the England U17 side, playing in and winning the 2012 Algarve Tournament.[18] Graham also represented the Republic of Ireland national football team at under-15 level in the 2010 Tri-Nations tournament, scoring twice against Northern Ireland U15s.[19]
