Jordan Stephen Roberts (born 5 January 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger or striker for EFL League One club Stevenage.
After spending one year on an academy scholarship at Peterborough United, Roberts joined Aldershot Town's youth system in the summer of 2011. He signed his first professional contract and made his first-team debut for Aldershot in League Two in February 2012. Roberts was loaned out three times during the 2012–13 season in order to gain first-team experience, at non-League clubs Havant & Waterlooville, Tamworth and Bishop's Stortford respectively. Roberts returned to Aldershot and played regularly for two seasons in the Conference Premier, scoring 13 times in 100 appearances during his time at the club. Roberts trialled with Scottish Premiership club Inverness Caledonian Thistle in July 2015, ultimately spending the 2015–16 season there. He moved back to England when he signed for League Two club Crawley Town in June 2016.
Roberts spent two seasons at Crawley, playing 62 times and scoring 11 goals, before moving up two divisions to sign for Championship club Ipswich Town in June 2018. He found first-team opportunities limited during his two years at Ipswich, during which he also spent time on loan at Lincoln City and Gillingham. Following his release from Ipswich, Roberts signed for Heart of Midlothian of the Scottish Championship in August 2020. Having spent two spells on loan at Scottish Premiership club Motherwell, Roberts joined the club on a permanent basis in January 2022. He signed for League Two club Stevenage in June 2022 and helped the club earn promotion into League One during the 2022–23 season.
