Tom Jordan moved to Scotland with big dreams and the Glasgow Warriors fly-half is reaping the rewards.

Tom Jordan has embarked on a long journey to become Glasgow Warriors’ fly-half and there could yet be more chapters in his fascinating story.to pursue an opportunity at Ayrshire Bulls. The versatile back thrived in the Super 6 series, winning player of the match in the Bulls’ final triumph in 2021, and his form led to Glasgow signing him later that year.

“When I first came over it was a case of play in the Super6 and getting some more game-time, experiencing something different then going back to NZ," said Jordan."But when I came over I really enjoyed it. This side of the world is really great for Despite being a proud New Zealander, Jordan now feels like Scotland is home. The allure of travelling across Europe was a factor in switching hemispheres and Spain, France, Portugal and Greece have been ticked off his bucket list.

“I think as I’ve progressed more and more it’s something that I can definitely aim for now.” admitted Jordan. “When I first came over I wasn’t Scottish and I wasn’t really planning on being here but as I’ve stayed and played a few games it’s definitely something that, if the opportunity came up, it’s definitely something you’d really push towards - once I’ve qualified.

Jordan’s impressive running ability stems from playing regularly throughout his career since youth level. Warriors coach Smith views his versatility as a major asset but he’s likely to play more at fly-half this season given Glasgow’s strength at inside-centre with Stafford McDowall and Sione Tuipulotu.
