Career

Wakefield Trinity

Jordan joined the club as a scholarship player and progressed through the Wakefield Trinity Academy system. He made his first team début against the Wigan Warriors in March 2014 and is the second-youngest forward ever to play for the club. From 2014 to 2018 Crowther was loaned out to lower league clubs including two stints at Dewsbury Rams, this is not unusual in the development of a young forward. In the 2019 season Crowther cemented his place as a regular in the back row and in turn gained a new contract at the club after a number of strong performances at Loose forward.[citation needed]

Warrington Wolves

On 29 September 2023 it was reported that he had signed a permanent two-year deal to stay at Warrington following on from his initial loan deal.[6] On 8 June 2024, Crowther played in Warrington's 2024 Challenge Cup final loss against Wigan.[7]

International career

Jordan represented England Academy against France Under-18s at Stade Albert Domec, Carcassonne. Jordan has also played for England U16s.[citation needed]
