Jordan "Jordi" Swibel (born 13 April 1999) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Canadian Premier League club Valour FC.
Swibel started playing football in 2011, by joining Hakoah Sydney City East, where he came through the youth ranks and became the top goalscorer of the under-18 squad during the 2016 season, helping his side win the league. During the same year, he made his first-team debut for Hakoah in the FFA Cup.[1] [2]
In the summer of 2017, Swibel went on trial for Maccabi Tel Aviv after being scouted in a youth tournament in Israel.[3]
In 2018, Swibel joined the youth academy of Sydney FC. He was part of the Sydney team that won the 2019–20 Y-League, having scored the opening goal in a 5–1 win over Melbourne Victory in the Grand Final.[4] [5]
In March 2019, Swibel was included in Sydney FC's first-team squad for the group stage of the AFC Champions League.[6]
On 4 January 2020, Swibel made his professional debut for Sydney's first team, coming on for Kosta Barbarouses in the 87th minute of a 2–1 league win over Adelaide United.[7] On 25 November 2020, he made his AFC Champions League debut, coming on for Paulo Retre in the 83rd minute of a 1–0 loss to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the group stage.[8] [9]
In January 2021, Swibel signed a one-year scholarship deal with Sydney FC,[10] but was eventually released by the club in July of the same year.[11] He made a total amount of 13 appearances in all competitions for the team.[12]
On 28 October 2021, Swibel signed a one-year scholarship deal with fellow A-League Men club Western Sydney Wanderers, following a successful trial.[13] While having limited playing time within the first team, he mainly featured for their NPL team; having scored nine goals in eight league matches, he helped the club gain promotion to NPL 1. He left the club in July 2022, following the expiration of his deal.[14]
After going on trial for Israeli Premier League club Ashdod, whom he was recommended to by former WSW team-mate Tomer Hemed,[15] [16] on 1 August 2022 Swibel signed a one-year contract with Liga Leumit side Hapoel Nof HaGalil.[17] Thanks to his Jewish heritage, he did not count towards the foreign player quotas required in Israeli leagues. On 22 September, he scored his first goal for the club, netting the winner in a 2–1 league victory over Hapoel Rishon LeZion.[18]
On 12 December 2022, Swibel returned to Australia, joining National Premier Leagues NSW side Marconi Stallions. He was the club's top scorer for the 2023 league campaign, having scored 15 goals in 28 matches.[19]
On 12 January 2024, Swibel signed a professional contract with Canadian Premier League club Valour FC.[20] He scored his first goal in his debut for the club on 14 April against Vancouver FC.[21] Swibel scored his second goal for the club and the winner in a 2-1 victory against Halifax FC at Wanderers Stadium Nova Scotia on 20 May 2024.
A self-declared fan of Manchester United, Swibel has cited Wayne Rooney as his footballing idol.[22]
