Jefferson de Jesus Santos (born 14 April 1993), known simply as Jefferson, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club G.D. Chaves as a defensive midfielder.
Club career
Early years / Portugal
Born in Goiânia, Goiás, Jefferson finished his formation with Associação Atlética Ponte Preta. He made his senior debut in Portugal, starting out with third division club G.D. Ribeirão.
In the January 2014 transfer window, Jefferson signed with C.D. Santa Clara in the Segunda Liga. He played his first match as a professional on 16 March, starting but being booked and replaced in the 31st minute of an eventual 1–3 away loss against F.C. Penafiel, as he risked being sent off.
Jefferson continued playing in that level in the following seasons, with Leixões S.C. and C.D. Feirense. He annulled his one-year contract with the former side in June 2014, claiming personal reasons.
Hajduk Split
During his spell in Portugal, Jefferson was scouted by the director of football of HNK Hajduk Split, Goran Vučević. He joined the Croatian team in June 2015, but was unable to sign or train with them until his contract with Feirense ran out, making him miss out on training camp in Slovenia and Austria. He made his competitive debut on 12 July, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw at GNK Dinamo Zagreb, gathering praise from the media for his performance and being named Man of the match by Jutarnji list for his role in neutralizing opposing player Ante Ćorić.
On 23 July 2015, Jefferson scored from longe-range in a 4–1 home win against FC Koper in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. He was the most utilized player for the team during the season, and arguably and the best in his position since Josip Radošević, being praised for his tackling skills but also criticized for his passing; on 10 April 2016, in a home game against NK Istra 1961, he was made captain in the last minutes, thus becoming the first Brazilian in Hajduk history to sport the armband.
