Jordan Michael Slew (born 7 September 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Plymouth Argyle.
Born in Sheffield, Slew began his footballing career at Sheffield United's academy in 2006, joining the club at the age of 11. After making his first-team debut in 2010, he attracted the interest of a number of clubs including Blackburn Rovers, for whom he signed in September 2011 for a £1.1 million fee. He subsequently spent time on loan at Stevenage, Oldham Athletic, Rotherham United, Ross County, and Port Vale. He joined Cambridge United in February 2015 and stayed with the club for 12 months. He signed with Chesterfield in February 2016, and then joined Plymouth Argyle four months later. Slew also made two appearances for the England U19s in 2011.
Having started his career as a youngster with the Sheffield United academy, Slew made his first-team debut at the start of October 2010, coming on as an 86th-minute substitute in a 1–0 home defeat to Watford. He then signed his first senior professional contract with Sheffield United at the start of November, a deal designed to tie him to the club until the summer of 2012. After two further late-substitute appearances, he made his first start for Sheffield United in April 2011, playing the whole game and scoring in a 3–1 defeat to Preston North End at Deepdale. He made eight appearances in total for the club during the 2010–11 campaign, scoring twice. As well as his breakthrough into the first-team, Slew also played an instrumental part in Sheffield United's run in the 2010–11 FA Youth Cup, where they reached the final before losing to Manchester United's Academy side over two legs. Slew scored three goals during the cup run, including a goal in the first leg of the final.
