Jordan Slew

Jordan Michael Slew (born 7 September 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Morecambe.

After making his first-team debut in 2010, he attracted the interest of several clubs, including Blackburn Rovers, for whom he signed in September 2011 for a £1.1 million fee.

He subsequently spent time on loan at Stevenage, Oldham Athletic, Rotherham United, Ross County, and Port Vale.

[6] He then signed his first senior professional contract with Sheffield United at the start of November, a deal designed to tie him to the club until the summer of 2012.

[3] After two further late-substitute appearances,[7][8] he made his first start for Sheffield United in April 2011, playing the whole game and scoring in a 3–1 defeat to Preston North End at Deepdale.

[5] Arriving as a squad player, Slew had to wait until December 2011 to make his debut for Blackburn, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

[20] Unable to achieve a regular place in the Blackburn first-team, Slew joined League One side Stevenage on loan in March 2012,[21] agreeing a deal to run until the end of the 2011–12 season.

[24] During his fifth appearance for Stevenage, Slew received a straight red card for "inexplicably raising his arms" to Colchester United midfielder Anthony Wordsworth.

[18] With Blackburn now in the Championship, Slew was still unable to make the break into the first-team and was instead loaned to League One side Oldham Athletic for six months in August 2012.

[27] After only four appearances for his temporary club, Slew suffered a stress fracture to his back and was sidelined for over three months, returning to Blackburn Rovers for treatment, and effectively ending his loan spell.

[28] Having recovered from his injury, Slew signed a six-week loan deal with League Two side Rotherham United at the end of January 2013.

[39] He failed to win back his first-team spot after returning from suspension and his loan deal was not extended by manager Rob Page.

[41] He scored one goal in 13 games in the second half of the 2014–15 season and was transfer listed in May by manager Richard Money after Slew admitted he was playing "nowhere near his best".

[43] Slew joined League One side Chesterfield on a short-term deal in February 2016, after manager Danny Wilson needed cover for injured strikers Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Lee Novak.

After a break from the game, Slew joined Boston United of the National League North in October 2018, making his debut for the club in a 4–0 win over Blyth Spartans at York Street the following day.

[78] Slew made his international debut for the England U19 side in a 1–0 defeat to Germany on 8 February 2011, replacing Connor Wickham after 60 minutes.
