Jeffrey began his career at Arsenal, joining the club's academy at the age of eight. He had attracted the interest of Chelsea and Liverpool, but opted to sign for the club he supported.

Jeffrey continued to play for the U18 side as a first-year scholar during the 2011–12 campaign, scoring six times in 19 appearances. On his first full season of football at U18 level, Jeffrey stated—"I know what I put in on the training pitch will improve my game and help me get to my target of playing for the first-team. I have belief in my ability, but I know it will not just come to me". He remained a regular feature for the youth side during the following season, playing twelve times in the U18 league, as well as scoring two goals in three games in the FA Youth Cup. Jeffrey would also go on to make six further appearances in the NextGen Series, and also make his Arsenal U21 debut in a 0–0 draw against Blackburn Rovers in October 2012. In March 2013, Jeffrey joined League One side Stevenage on loan for the remainder of the 2012–13 season.

Jeffrey was called up to the Guyana national football team in March 2019. He made his debut for Guyana on 23 March 2019 in a CONCACAF Nations League qualifier against Belize, as a starter. He was named to Guyana's squad for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup on 30 May 2019.

Jeffrey can be deployed as either a winger or a striker. He is right-footed and has been described as a "pacy winger", as well as an "intelligent and quick" player. He was previously named as "one of the top three fastest boys in the country", and considers his pace to be one of his key attributes. During his time playing in Arsenal's youth team, he was used on the left wing—"testing opposition defenders with his searing pace".
