Former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jordan Graham is receiving specialist treatment in hospital after being involved in a serious road traffic accident earlier this month. The 31-year-old, who has been without a club since leaving Leyton Orient in June 2025, is being cared for following the incident.
The Professional Footballers' Association issued a statement on behalf of Graham's family. The PFA said his family are incredibly grateful for the care he is receiving. The family has asked for privacy and requested that people do not contact them directly.
Support from former clubs
Several of Graham's former clubs have publicly sent their best wishes. Gillingham, where he enjoyed a productive spell after leaving Molineux, released a statement. The club said they wish him a full and swift recovery.
Birmingham City, another of his former sides, added their best wishes. Leyton Orient, his most recent club, also sent a message of support. Ipswich Town, where he had two separate loan spells, also confirmed their thoughts were with the player and his family.
A career of resilience
Graham's career has been marked by significant injury challenges alongside his spells at various clubs. He joined Wolves permanently after an initial loan, making senior appearances across five years before his departure. During his time at the club, he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, a serious setback he worked hard to overcome.
After leaving Wolves, he rebuilt his career at Gillingham, scoring goals and providing assists in appearances during the 2020-21 season. A move to Birmingham City followed, but further serious knee injuries, including ruptures of the patella tendon in the same left knee while at Leyton Orient, hampered his progress. He had been working with the PFA during the summer of 2025 to find a new club ahead of the current season.
The news comes as the current Wolves squad prepares for its next Championship fixture, an away trip to face Middlesbrough. Gary O'Neil's side will be looking to build on a recent victory over West Bromwich Albion, a result that ended a run of consecutive defeats.
