Jordan Preston

Career
Preston Started his career at Blackburn Rovers in 2012/13 season. He never got a 1st team appearance for them but had various loans with Clitheroe and Ayr before being released. Gateshead then signed him on a free where he scored 5 goals in 30 games. After one season FC Halifax came calling and he had a disappointing season, only scoring 3 in 35. In the 19/20 season he came back to Gateshead where he played excellently and scored 30 in 40 appearances. He finished as top scorer in the Vanarama League North with 29 goals. The next season came and he still finished the clubs top scorer with 13, one above short term loanee Alexander. He also achieved 3 assists in the 41 games. In the 21/22 season, he became very much a bench player. This was due to the loanee signing of Eddie Brown but, Jordan still managed 8 goals and 1 assist from his 28 appearances that season. Going into his 5th season with Gateshead, he was the only striker at the club, but Aghatise was brought in and Preston would give back-up. Mostly as a sub, he gained an impressive 11 goals and 3 assists in 31 games. The next year, he was looking to be a player who appeared in cup fixtures or off the bench occasionally. In the 17 games he played, he scored 3 and assisted two. At the start of the 24/25 and being the age of only 28, he followed fellow long term player Greenfield to National League side Dover for £24,000. At the time he left, he played 187 times, supplied 9 assists and held the clubs overall goal record at the time of 70 goals.
