Formerly a pupil of Belmont Boys' Secondary R.C.

He was the bronze medallist in the 400 m hurdles at the 2008 CARIFTA Games and went on to win the gold medal the following year, recording a championship record of 50.01 seconds.^[4] His success continued in the form of a bronze medal at the 2009 Central American and Caribbean Championships in Athletics, where he ran a time of 49.45 seconds,^[5] and a silver at the 2009 Pan American Junior Athletics Championships.

He qualified for the 2009 World Championships in Athletics and surprised by setting a world-age best and senior national record of 48.66 seconds in the heats.^[6] He progressed through the rounds and reached the final, finishing in fourth with a 48.26-second national record.^[7] Statisticians A. Lennart Julin and Mirko Jalava picked out Gordon's performances as sign of promise for future success.^[8] At the start of the 2010 season, he took a 400 m and 110 metres hurdles double at the trials for the CARIFTA Games.^[9] He went on to improve the championship records in both the 110 and 400 m hurdles at the 2010 CARIFTA Games, earning himself that year's Austin Sealy Trophy.

He took part in both the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics.^[10]

When he won the 400 m hurdles at the 2013 World Championships, he set a new national record of 47.69.^[11] The year after, he won silver at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.^[11]
