The Newcastle Jets have this evening announced that 20-year-old academy graduate Jordan Baylis has signed a scholarship contract with the Club.
A Cardiff City and Edgeworth junior, Jordan moved to the Newcastle Jets Academy in 2020 at under-15s level. Since 2024, he has been a mainstay in the Youth Team, as well as featuring on the bench several times in the Australia Cup and A-League over the last two seasons.

As a goalkeeper, development can look a little different, and Jordan has shown real maturity in the way he has approached that. He has been consistent in his work, open to learning, and committed to improving every day.
Being involved with the A-League Men’s squad this season has been an important part of his growth, and we feel he is ready to keep taking steps forward in our environment.
This is a great moment for Jordan and his family, and another positive reflection of the Academy pathway at the Club.”
