2019-2024 (Rugby Union)
He was signed for the Queensland Reds squad in 2020 but relocated to Melbourne in 2021 to join the Rebels.[5][6][7] Since his move to the Rebels, Gordon has remained with the team and has since become the starting fly-half for the team, and re-signed for the team, in 2022, until the end of 2024.[8]
Gordon was selected in the Australian squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
2024-2025 (Rugby League)
On June 12, 2024, it was announced that Gordon had signed for NRL team, the Gold Coast Titans from the 2025 NRL season onwards.[9] One month later Gordon played his first game of Rugby League for the Tweed Heads Seagulls in the Queensland Cup, scoring a try and one try assist. [10] Unfortunately in the 2025 pre-season Gordon suffered a back injury at training, Gordon revealed that his injury was a CSF leak from his back that required full bed rest. He won his first match in the NRL 36-28 in round 27 of the 2025 NRL season over the Wests Tigers which meant the Gold Coast would avoid the Wooden Spoon.[11] On 6 October 2025, it was reported that Gordon had been granted permission by the Gold Coast to negotiate with Rugby Union teams for an immediate switch back to the 15-man code.[12] On 10 October, the Titans officially released Gordon from the remainder of his contract.[13]
2025- present (Rugby Union)
On the 13th of October Gordon then signed with the Queensland Reds and Rugby Australia.[14] Rushed back into the Australian team, Gordon started at 10 against Italy on November 9 and scored a try in a 26-19 defeat. Unfortunately he suffered quad and hip injuries and was unable to play another game on the spring tour. [15]
