Early life

Domestic career

Gordon made her county debut in 2016, for Surrey against Worcestershire in the Twenty20 Cup.[3] Overall, she took five wickets at an average of 9.00 in the Twenty20 Cup that season, including her Twenty20 best bowling figures of 3/15 against Staffordshire.[4][5] Gordon was part of the Surrey side that won promotion to Division 1 of the County Championship in 2018, contributing 84 runs including her List A high score of 31*.[6] In 2021, she scored 126 runs and took 3 wickets for Surrey in the Twenty20 Cup.[7][8] In the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Cup, Gordon was Surrey's leading run-scorer, with 102 runs, and their joint-leading wicket-taker, with 6 wickets.[9][10] She scored her maiden Twenty20 half-century during the tournament, scoring 54 against Hampshire.[11] She played three matches in the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup, scoring one half-century.[12] In April 2024, she was named as captain of Surrey.[13]

Gordon was called up to play for Surrey Stars in the Women's Cricket Super League in 2018 midway through the tournament, as an injury-replacement for Grace Gibbs.[14] Whilst she did not play for the side that season, she was a full member of the squad in 2019, playing 7 matches and taking 2 wickets at an average of 32.00.[2]

In 2020, Gordon played for South East Stars in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in three matches and took 1 wicket, against Southern Vipers.[15][16] In 2021, she was in Welsh Fire's squad in The Hundred, but did not play a match.[17]

Gordon was named Surrey captain in April 2024.[18] In November 2024, she left the club to join Kent ahead of the 2025 season which will see a newly restructured women's domestic cricket set-up in England and Wales.[19][20]
