Career

Youth years

Born in Goiânia, Brazil, Jean first started to play youth football with local club Goiás. He also went on to represent Spanish club Osasuna, Palmeiras and Formosa during his youth years.[4]

Brazil

Jean emerged into playing regular first team football in 2017, spending part of the year at CRAC and Paysandu.[4] He featured in the 2017 Copa Verde campaign, where Paysandu finished runners-up following a 4–2 aggregated defeat against Luverdense Esporte Clube in the finals.[3]

He signed with Clube Atlético Tubarão on 10 January 2018,[2] and went on to make a total of 24 appearances for the club in the Série D and the Campeonato Catarinense.[3] Jean also spent three months on loan with the Sport Recife in 2018, failing to make any competitive appearances for the Série A club.[3]

Hammarby IF

On 3 February 2019, Jean transferred to Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan. He signed a three-year deal with the Swedish club for an undisclosed fee.[2][5] He was sought out as a replacement for countryman Neto Borges, who also had been bought from Tubarão the previous season.[6] However, he had difficulties breaking into the starting eleven and only made 3 appearances for Hammarby during the first half of the season. On 2 August, Jean was loaned out to affiliated club IK Frej in Superettan, Sweden's second division, for the remainder of the year.[7]
