Jordan Clifford Smith (born 8 December 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays for Nottingham Forest as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Nottingham Forest
After coming through the Nottingham Forest academy, for whom he had played since the age of seven,[2] Smith spent spells on loan with Ilkeston[3] and Nuneaton Town.[4] He made his professional debut for Forest on 11 February 2017, coming on as a 23rd-minute substitute against Norwich City for the injured Stephen Henderson.[5] Smith kept his first clean sheet for Forest on 25 February as the club drew 0–0 at Wigan Athletic.
Having impressed in goal, Smith agreed a new contract with the club on 4 April to extend his stay until 2020.[6] Smith's good form continued into the last game of the season at home to Ipswich Town when, with the score at 0–0, he made two vital saves; the latter of which was described by manager Mark Warburton as "world-class". Forest won the game 3–0 to guarantee safety from relegation to League One, at the expense of Blackburn Rovers.[7][8]
