Jordan Clifford Smith (born 8 December 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.
After coming through the Nottingham Forest academy, for whom he had played since the age of seven,[4] Smith spent spells on loan with Ilkeston[5] and Nuneaton Town.[6] 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.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] [10]
Smith was released by Nottingham Forest following their 2022-23 season, ending his 22 years with the club.[11]
On 16 November 2018, Smith joined EFL League One side Barnsley on a seven-day emergency loan.[12]
On 10 January 2019, Smith joined EFL League Two side Mansfield Town until the end of the 2018–19 season.[13]
Following injury to goalkeeper Lee Nicholls and with young academy graduate Ryan Schofield joining Crawley Town on loan until the end of the season, Smith joined EFL Championship side Huddersfield Town on loan for the rest of the 2022–23 season. He featured in just one match day squad [14]
Smith signed a one-year contract with EFL League Two side Stockport County on 12 July 2023.[15]
Smith signed a two year contract with Scottish Premiership side Hibernian on 18th July 2024.
