Jordan Thomas Hugill (born 4 June 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Rotherham United.

A relative latecomer to the professional game, he had spells with non-League sides Seaham Red Star, Consett, Whitby Town and Marske United, and also spent time at the then Glenn Hoddle Academy club Jerez Industrial in Spain.

[5] He began his career with Northern League club Seaham Red Star at the age of 16 and was due to go on trial at Sunderland before he was struck down with an ankle injury in September 2009.

[14] He performed well on his debut, justifying his manager's surprise decision to play him alongside fellow Glenn Hoddle Academy graduate Ben Williamson in place of established strikers Tom Pope and Lee Hughes.

[17] Hugill continued to turn out for the first-team, but admitted that he needed to work on his fitness to play a full 90 minutes of professional football.

[18] At the end of the 2013–14 campaign he was named as the club's Young Player of the Year, and also featured in Vale's Staffordshire Senior Cup final defeat to Rushall Olympic.

[19][20] However, in the summer Micky Adams confirmed that Hugill had rejected the club's offer of a new contract, and stated: "It is disappointing ... we spent a lot of time and effort with Jordan last season, but we will have to accept it.

[22] Hugill signed a two-year contract with League One club Preston North End in June 2014, who paid Port Vale an undisclosed fee; manager Simon Grayson stated that "he's young, he's raring to go, hungry, he's a strong, powerful player, and he's got many attributes that will help us along the way this season and complement the squad well".

[23] He had an eventful match after coming on for Andrew Little as a 20th-minute substitute at Walsall on 13 September; he provided an assist for Joe Garner before being sent off for clashing with opposition defender Andy Butler, he also picked up an injury in the game that required surgery and a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

[24] He returned to fitness in February 2015, at which point he joined his former Vale manager Micky Adams at League Two side Tranmere Rovers for a one-month loan spell.

[38] He battled with Britt Assombalonga for the role as target man striker and scored seven goals in 41 appearances during the 2018–19 season as Tony Pulis's "Boro" side missed out on the play-offs by one point.

[40] Manager Mark Warburton said he hoped Hugill would "lead the line" and link up well with fellow loanee striker Jan Mlakar.

[43] After two loan spells and just three appearances, amounting to 22 minutes of playing time for West Ham, on 24 August 2020, he joined recently relegated Championship team Norwich City for a fee "that could be worth £5m".

[49] However, Hugill failed to displace Teemu Pukki and Josh Sargent in the starting eleven and was sidelined under first Dean Smith and then David Wagner.

[52] However, this was his only goal from his first 20 appearances for the "Baggies", leading to speculation that he would be recalled to Norwich following West Brom's decision to sign American striker Daryl Dike.

[57] He had an enjoyable spell with Steve Morison's "Bluebirds", helping the team to avoid relegation, in contrast to his time at West Brom where he was frozen out of the first-team and forced to train alone.

[58] On 25 January 2023, Hugill joined fellow Championship club Rotherham United on a three-and-a-half-year deal after being signed for an undisclosed fee.
