In Round 2 against the Melbourne Storm, Gordon injured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the Titans 40–12 loss at AAMI Park, ruling the promising winger out for the entire 2011 season.

Gordon played at centre and scored 2 tries for the Philippines in their historic 86–0 win that saw the team crowned the inaugural Asian Cup champions.

At the start of the 2015 NRL season, there were reports that Gordon was on the outer with the Titans with Anthony Don and Kalifa Faifai Loa favoured ahead of him on the wing.

[20][21] Gordon's season was hampered by ongoing hip problems and bad form, resulting in him playing in 6 matches, scoring 1 try and kicking 1 goal for the Titans.

Following his retirement from the NRL after a year in the United States pursuing acting, Gordon turned out for the Philippines national rugby union team in 2017, the "Volcanoes".
