Jordan Steven Robertson (born 12 February 1988) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Harrogate Town. Born in Sheffield he began his career with Sheffield United but failed to ever break into the first team. He was loaned out to a number of clubs during his time with United, including Torquay United, Northampton Town, Dundee United, Oldham Athletic, Southampton, Ferencváros and Bury. While with Southampton he was involved in a traffic accident in which the driver of the other car was killed. Robertson was subsequently jailed for 32 months for causing death by dangerous driving. On his release from prison he returned to football and had a spell with St Johnstone before spending a year at Scunthorpe United.
Robertson joined his hometown club Sheffield United as a trainee, becoming part of the club's Academy team, appearing regularly for them during his school years. He joined Torquay United on a one-month loan in November 2006. He made his Football League debut for Torquay on 18 November 2006, replacing Mickey Evans late on in a home defeat against Swindon Town. He scored his first league goal the following week in a 5–2 defeat away to Peterborough United. He returned to Sheffield Unite after Torquay's 1–0 defeat away to Bristol Rovers.
