Jefferson Moreira Nascimento (born 5 July 1988), known simply as Jefferson, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a left-back.
Born in Campo Formoso, Bahia, Jefferson represented in his country Associação Desportiva São Caetano, Guaratinguetá Futebol, SE Palmeiras, Grêmio Barueri Futebol, Fluminense FC, Clube Náutico Capibaribe[2] and Santa Cruz Futebol Clube.[3] His Série A input consisted of 11 matches in representation of the third and fifth clubs, over three separate seasons; interspersed with that, he had a one-year spell in Portugal with G.D. Estoril Praia.[4]
Jefferson returned to Estoril for the 2012–13 campaign, with the team now in the Primeira Liga. He scored his first goal as a professional on 11 November 2012 to help to a 2–0 home defeat of Moreirense FC,[5] and also found the net against Sporting CP (3–1 home win)[6] and S.L. Benfica (1–1, away)[7] in an eventual fifth-place finish, with the subsequent qualification for the UEFA Europa League; most of his five goals in all competitions came from long-distance shots.[8]
On 7 June 2013, Jefferson signed a four-year contract with Sporting.[9] He netted twice[10] [11] from 26 appearances in his debut season, helping to a runner-up position.
Jefferson celebrated his 50th appearance in the Portuguese top division on 5 April 2014, in a match against F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[12] On 16 June 2017, he (on loan) and teammate Ricardo Esgaio (permanent transfer) joined S.C. Braga as Rodrigo Battaglia moved in the opposite direction.[13]
