Jordan David Lyden (born 30 January 1996) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a defensive midfielder for National League North club Hereford.

Contents

Born in Perth, Lyden played youth soccer for ECU Joondalup before moving to England to play for Aston Villa in 2012, making his professional debut for the side in 2016.

He has represented Australia at under-20 level.

Club career

Aston Villa

Born in Perth, Australia, Lyden moved to England at the age of 16 and joined the academy of Aston Villa. [2] In December 2015, Lyden got called up to the senior side, who were struggling in the Premier League at the bottom of the table. [3] He made his professional senior debut for the side on 9 January 2016 in the FA Cup against Wycombe Wanderers. He came on as an 83rd-minute substitute in a 1–1 draw. [4] He was handed his first start, playing at right-back, in the replay ten days later which resulted in a 2–0 win for Villa. [5] Lyden made his Premier League debut for the side on 14 February 2016 against Liverpool, coming on as a substitute for Leandro Bacuna after 66 minutes with the team five goals down, with the game finishing 6–0. [6] Lyden made his league starting debut for Aston Villa in his third Premier League appearance on 10 April against Bournemouth. [7]

Lyden's Aston Villa career was beset by a number of injuries, and found it difficult to stake a claim to a first team space. On 31 August 2018, after making only four first team appearances in his six years at the club, Lyden went on loan to Oldham Athletic. [8] On 17 November 2018, Lyden scored his first goal in league football in a 3–1 victory for Oldham over Cambridge United. The long range effort earned plaudits from fans across the Football League. [9] He returned to Aston Villa on 1 January 2019, after playing 14 times for Oldham, and scoring 1 goal. He hoped that his performances on loan would be enough to secure him a new contract. [10]

However, Lyden's poor luck with injuries continued; and on 11 January 2019, just 10 days after returning to Aston Villa from his loan spell, Lyden suffered a muscle injury in training – which would take three months to recover from. [11]

On 17 March 2019, Lyden made a post on his personal Instagram announcing that he had left Aston Villa. [12] After leaving Villa, Lyden trained with EFL League One club Southend United. [13]

Swindon Town

On 26 July 2019, Lyden joined EFL League Two club Swindon Town on a one-year deal following a successful trial. [14] In his first season he helped Swindon win the league title and promotion to League One. [15] Later that summer he signed a new two-year contract with the club. [16] He suffered a season-ending achilles injury in February 2022, [17] and was released by Swindon in the summer.

Leyton Orient

On 20 January 2023, Lyden signed for then-League Two leaders Leyton Orient on a short-term deal until the end of the season. [18] He featured in five league matches for the O's as they went on to win the league title and promotion to League One. [19] He was released by the club at the end of the season. [20]

Hereford

On 15 September 2023, Lyden signed for National League North club Hereford, reuniting with former Swindon team mate Paul Caddis. [21] He made his debut for the club the following day, starting and playing 63 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–0 FA Cup second qualifying round win over Anstey Nomads. [22] He signed a contract at Hereford until the end of the season a month later, along with Paul Downing. [23]

International career

In late 2013, Lyden was called up to the Australia under-20 side to travel to Malaysia for 2014 AFC U-19 Championship qualification. [24] He made his debut for the Young Socceroos in a win over Hong Kong, coming on for Stefan Mauk in the second half. [25]
