Jordan Gabriel signed professional terms with Nottingham Forest in January 2016, initiating his ascent in professional football. He subsequently made his anticipated professional debut on September 24, 2019, appearing as a substitute in an EFL Cup match against Premier League side Arsenal. Gabriel continued to develop his career at Forest, securing a new contract in February 2020. That same year, he gained valuable first-team experience with a loan spell at Scunthorpe United in January 2020, followed by a pivotal move to Blackpool on loan in October 2020.

During his impactful loan period at Blackpool, Gabriel demonstrated his offensive capabilities by scoring his first career goal in an FA Cup match in November 2020. He proved to be a crucial contributor to Blackpool’s successful 2020–21 season, playing a significant role in their qualification for the League One play-offs and subsequent promotion to the Championship, a major milestone for the club. Recognizing his consistent performance and significant contributions, Blackpool made the move permanent in August 2021, securing his services on a four-year deal. His dedication extended off the pitch, and he was deservedly acknowledged as Blackpool’s PFA Community Champion in 2022 for his involvement in charitable causes.

He is widely recognized for his attacking style, leveraging his exceptional pace and agility to advance purposefully up the flank and deliver precise, impactful crosses into dangerous areas, thereby making him a valuable and multifaceted asset in both defensive and offensive phases of play for Port Vale, where he continues to solidify his reputation.
