Career Gordon began his footballing career at St Mirren's Academy, but was released in 2004. Shortly after, he went to the University of Strathclyde and played for Strathclyde University FC, an amateur club. Four years later, he went back to senior terms, signing with Dumbarton. He signed a new deal with the club in May 2009, being appointed captain a year later. He established himself as a first-team regular, being promoted twice in his first two seasons at the club.

He then signed for East Fife, before leaving the side in September 2017.
