Jordan Thomas Hugill (born 4 June 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL Championship side Preston North End.
A relative late comer to the professional game, he had spells with non-league sides Seaham Red Star, Consett, Whitby Town and Marske United, and also spent time at the Glenn Hoddle Academy. He was signed by Port Vale in June 2013, and made his debut for the club four months later following a productive loan spell at Gateshead. He signed with Preston North End in June 2014. He was loaned out to Tranmere Rovers in February 2015 and then Hartlepool United the following month.
Hugill attended George Smith's academy in Hemlington from the age of nine. He began his career with Northern League club Seaham Red Star at the age of 16, and was due to go on trial at Sunderland before he was struck down with an ankle injury in September 2009. He later moved on to Consett, but left his contract in August 2010 to spend two years at the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain.
He signed with Whitby Town in December 2011 and scored in his debut game against Nantwich Town, only to damage his anterior cruciate ligament later in the match and spend the next ten months out injured. He joined Marske United in October 2012 initially on loan so as to regain match fitness. His last appearance for Marske came in the final of the North Riding Senior Cup, where they were beaten 3–0 by Pickering Town. During his time at the club he worked as a barman at the Dickens Inn in Middlesbrough.
