Alexander Aaron Gordon (born July 30, 1991) is an American rugby union player who plays flanker for Shamrock RFC.
Gordon made his Albany Bulldogs[2] debut in March 2007, taking the field as the number 8 and leading the team to initial victory over their rival Saratoga Mustangs.
The Bulldogs experienced similar success, taking a 5-1 record[4] and the 1st seed into the CDYR Post-Season Tournament, ultimately finishing second to the Berkshire United RFC after a controversial 12-12 overtime game went to sudden death kick rules.
[5] Gordon announced his decision at the conclusion of the 2009 CDYR Tournament that he would pursue an education from, and continue his playing career at, Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania.
A fruitful rookie year was derailed by a torn PCL due to an ill-advised backflip attempt, but Gordon continued playing through the injury, worsening the severity.
