Jefferson Nascimento

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 and Santa Cruz Futebol Clube. 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. 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, and also found the net against Sporting CP (3–1 home win) and S.L. Benfica (1–1, away) 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. On 7 June 2013, Jefferson signed a four-year contract with Sporting. He netted twice 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. 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.
