Jordan Kenneth Willis (born 24 August 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for League One club Coventry City.

Club career

Willis was born in Coventry, West Midlands.[1] He made his professional debut as a substitute on 5 November 2011 in a 4–2 Championship loss to Southampton, coming on to replace James McPake after 64 minutes.[3] At the age of 17 years and 72 days he became the tenth youngest Coventry City player of all-time. He made his first start of the following season on 28 August 2012, in a 3-2 win against Birmingham City in the League Cup.[4]

He established himself in the first-team towards the end of the 2013-14 season in the right-back position. A change in formation to a three-man defence saw Willis become a first-choice player for Coventry City at the start of the following season. On 11 October, Jordan Willis captained the Sky Blues for the first time in their game against Crewe Alexandra.

International career

In February 2012 he was called up to the England under-18 team by manager Noel Blake.[5] He made his debut on 7 March 2012 in a 3-0 win against Poland in Crewe.[6] He made his England under-19 debut on 5 February 2013, in a 3-1 win against Denmark.[7]
