Pickford currently plays for England U21 and has previously represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-20 levels.[3]

Early and personal life

Pickford was born in Washington, Tyne and Wear. His brother Richard Logan is also a former professional footballer who played for Darlington and now plays for Washington Cricket Club in the Durham and District Sunday morning league.

Club career

Sunderland

Pickford joined Sunderland's Academy at the age of eight and progressed through the age groups before signing two year scholarship terms in 2010.[4]

Loan spells

Pickford signed on loan for Darlington in time to make his debut against Fleetwood Town on 21 January 2012.[5] The initial month-long loan was subsequently extended until the end of April.[6]

On 25 February 2013, Pickford signed for Alfreton Town, again on an initial month-long loan[7] which was subsequently extended until the end of the season.[8] During this spell, Pickford kept five clean sheets in twelve games.[9]

On 2 August 2013, Pickford signed another loan deal, this time with Burton Albion.[9] He made his debut on 3 August 2013 against Cheltenham Town.[10] However his loan ended on 17 August, after Sunderland recalled him with Pickford featuring three times for Burton.[11]

On 13 September 2013, Pickford re-joined Burton Albion on loan.[12]

On 8 February 2014, Pickford joined Carlisle United on a one-month loan.[13]

On 21 July 2014, Pickford joined League One club Bradford City on a season-long loan for the 2014–15 season.[14] Pickford made his debut on 9 August in a 3–2 win against Coventry City at Valley Parade.[15] He kept his first clean sheet in the following game, a 0–0 draw against Walsall.[16]

Pickford made an appearance for Sunderland in a pre season friendly match on the 18 July 2015 in Sunderlands 3-1 loss against CF Pachuca in which he saved a penalty in the 70th minute to keep the score at 3-1

On 31 July 2015, Pickford joined Preston North End on a season-long loan for the 2015–16 season.[17] He kept a clean sheet on his debut in a 0-0 draw against Middlesbrough.[18] Further clean sheets in a 1-0 win against MK Dons in his second league game and a 0-0 draw with Rotherham United on 18 August made it a clean sheet in all three of his first three league games for the club.[19][20] On 25 August Pickford kept another clean sheet as Preston defeated Premier League side Watford 1-0 in the League Cup.[21] On 7th November, Pickford recorded a 6th consecutive clean sheet in a 0-0 draw against QPR equalling the club record.[22][23] During his stint at Preston, Pickford impressed his veteran goalkeeping team-mate Chris Kirkland, who said “Jordan comes out to take crosses and has an authority for someone still very young... As for his kicking, that is brilliant! I have never seen anyone kick a ball like he does."[24] On 20 December 2015, Pickford was controversially sent off in a 1-0 defeat against Leeds United- he rushed out of his box to challenge striker Chris Wood, and was adjudged to have handled the ball.[25] Preston successfully appealed the decision, using replay footage that showed the ball hitting his chest.[26]

Return to Sunderland

On 31 December 2015, Pickford was recalled by Sunderland, with the side struggling in 19th place in the Premier League 2015–16.[27] He made his first-team debut on 9 January 2016, in a 3-1 FA Cup loss to Arsenal.[28] He made his Premier League debut against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on January 16th losing 4-1, meaning he had played in the top five leagues of English football by the age of 21. On 26 January 2016, Pickford signed a new contract committing his future to Sunderland until 2020.[29]

International career

Pickford has represented England at every level from Under 16 through to Under 21. On 25 August 2015 he was called up to the England under-21 squad for the first time.[30] Pickford made his debut for the England Under 21s in a friendly against the United States under-23s at Deepdale on 3rd September 2015. He made his second appearance four days later against Norway under-21s. On 14 October, Pickford assisted Nathan Redmond's goal in the U21s' 3-0 victory over Kazakhstan at the Ricoh Arena with a long range pass from his own penalty area.[31]
