As a player, Jordan, a product of Clemson University where he was a two-time First team All-American and Finalist for NCAA player of the year, was drafted 10th overall by the Dallas Burn in the first round of the 1998 MLS College Draft. He went on to play 117 games in eight seasons in Major League Soccer, compiling a record of 53-46-17 and 30 shutouts with Dallas, Columbus and Colorado.
With Dallas, Jordan was selected to the 1999 MLS All-Star Game and was a Finalist for MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, after finishing that season with a goal-against average of 1.08 and setting a new league record for shutouts with 11. He helped the team reach the playoffs in each of his five seasons with the club and was voted the club’s defender of the year and humanitarian of the year during that time.
After five seasons with Dallas, he joined first division Danish Superliga club Odense Boldklub in 2003-2004, compiling a record of 15-3-3, including nine shutouts, with both the first and reserve teams helping the club to a fourth-place finish in league play while participating in the 2003 UEFA Cup.
Jordan returned to MLS in the middle of the 2004 season, helping the Columbus Crew win the Eastern Conference Championship and MLS Supporters Shield, before being traded to his hometown club the Colorado Rapids in 2006, while helping the team advance to the Conference Playoff Final later that year.
