The Aussie also spoke about the role which head coach Owen Coyle played in his move to Jamshedpur. “The Gaffer played a big part in the move. He was keen to get me on board, and obviously, the experience he has of coaching in the top leagues is something very few can boast about, and I am keen to learn from him,” he said.

“Goals and more goals! With Jordan being part of our attack now, you can now see the quality of the Jamshedpur strikers whose intention is to score lots of goals. He is a great finisher and good with hold-up play as well to allow others to score too. Jordan is someone who keeps improving with each game and a great teammate to have. I am sure the Jamshedpur supporters will be smacking their lips to see such a fiery frontline this season.”

Jordan will wear jersey no.10 for Jamshedpur FC in the coming season.
