Jordan James Spence (born 24 May 1990) is an English footballer who plays for Ipswich Town. Predominantly as a right-back, Spence can also operate as a centre-back. He has represented and captained England at various youth levels.
Spence joined West Ham United in 2004. In April 2006 he signed a contract as a full-time youth team academy player for season 2006–07 and made his reserve team debut that same month. He has captained the England national team every youth level.
On 9 May 2010, Spence made his first team debut for West Ham, coming on the 86th minute for Alessandro Diamanti, in a 1–1 home draw against Manchester City with Spence making his first start for West Ham on 15 May 2011 in a 3–2 away defeat to Wigan Athletic, a game which saw West Ham relegated. After their relegation, Spence signed a new contract with the club, keeping him until 2014.
In the 2012-13 season, Spence appeared in the club's first team on seven occasions, though he spent most of the season, playing in the club's reserve team. Spence made his first appearance of the season, in the second round of League Cup, in a 2-0 win over Crewe Alexandra on 28 August 2012 and then made his first league appearance of the season, coming on as substitute for James Tomkins in the late second-half, in a 4-1 win over Southampton on 20 October 2012. After nine years with the club, Spence was released at the end of the 2013–14 season.
Before making his debut for West Ham, he made his professional club debut for Leyton Orient in their FA Cup second round match at Bradford City on 29 November 2008 having signed on loan on 25 November. This looked to be his only match for Leyton Orient as he returned to Upton Park on 5 January 2009, but he returned to Orient on 23 January and stayed until the end of the season. His Football League debut came in the 2–1 away defeat to Scunthorpe United on 24 January 2009.
