Yerjet Yerzat (Kazakh: Ержет Ерзат; born 4 January 1993), also known as Jet in Portugal, is a Chinese professional footballer of Kazakh descent who plays as a goalkeeper for Chinese Super League club Qingdao West Coast.
Yerjet started his professional football career in 2012 when he joined China League Two side Xinjiang Begonia for the 2012 China League Two.[1] He made twenty-three appearances in the 2012 season. However, he became an unattached player after Xinjiang quit from the league in 2013 due to financial difficulties.[2]
Yerjet moved to Portugal and signed a half-year contract with Campeonato de Portugal side Gondomar in January 2014. He quickly established himself within the team and made his senior debut in Portugal on 13 April 2014 in a 2–1 home defeat against Amarante.[3] Yerjet made five league appearances in the 2013–14 season and extended his contract with the club. He transferred to first tier side Paços de Ferreira along with teammate Tang Shi in the summer of 2016.

However, Leixões stated that Tianjin Quanjian contact the player illegally before he terminated his contract.[7] His transfer deal was eventually suspended at the end of January 2018.[8]
Yerjet signed a short term contract with Campeonato de Portugal side Salgueiros in February 2018. On 11 February 2018, he made his debut in a 3–0 home win against Cinfães, ending Salgueiros' five-game winless streak.[9] He kept consecutive clean sheets in his first six matches for the club and was chosen in the best team of round in his first four matches.[10]
Yerjet rejoined Gondomar in the summer of 2018, signing a one-year contract. On 11 August 2018, he made his return debut in a 2–1 home win over Amarante.[11] He played every minute of Gondomar's official matches in the 2018–19 season before he returned to China in February 2019.
On 22 February 2019, Yerjet transferred to Chinese Super League side Chongqing Dangdai Lifan.[12] He would go on to make his debut in a Chinese FA Cup game on 1 May 2019 against Hebei China Fortune in a 1-0 victory.[13] He would leave the club when they were dissolved on 24 May 2022 after the majority owner, Wuhan Dangdai Group could not restructure the clubs shareholdings and debt.[14] On 26 August 2022 he would join second tier club Heilongjiang Ice City.[15]
