Jordon D'Andre Garrick (born 15 July 1998) is a Jamaican professional footballer who plays for Plymouth Argyle on loan from Swansea City.

Club Career

Garrick played for Northern Premier Division One side Ossett Albion before being encouraged by his coaches to attend a trial with Premier League side Swansea City. The two-week trial proved successful and he signed a two-year deal with the Welsh side, only a year since contemplating leaving football to pursue a rugby league career. He was initially assigned to the club's academy and under-21 development side where he scored eight goals in ten matches during his first season with the under-18s. He made his professional debut for the club as a substitute in place of Barrie McKay during a 3–1 victory over Northampton Town in the first round of the EFL Cup on 13 August 2019. He made his Football League debut a week later during a 3–1 victory over Queens Park Rangers, winning the penalty for his side's second goal. Garrick described his debut as emotional and stated "I had a few tears in my eyes to be honest. It was emotional because it's been a long time coming". He scored his first goal for Swansea in an EFL Cup tie against Cambridge United on 28 August 2019. On 1 February 2021, Garrick joined League One side Swindon Town on loan for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.
