Club career

Bahia

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Jean graduated with Bahia's youth setup, being promoted to the main squad in 2015. In February 2015 he was elected as first-choice, profiting from an injury crisis in the squad,[1] and signed a new three-year deal with the club late in the month.[2]

Jean made his professional debut on 9 May 2015, starting in a 1–1 away draw against América Mineiro for the Série B championship.[3] Mainly a backup during the club's promotion campaign, he only featured in three league matches during that year.

Jean became an undisputed starter during the 2017 season, and made his Série A debut on 14 May 2017 in a 6–2 home routing of Atlético Paranaense. He featured in all 38 league matches of the tournament, as his side finished in a mid-table position.

São Paulo

On 22 December 2017, Jean agreed to a five-year contract with fellow top tier club São Paulo.[4] On 9 January 2020, the player had his contract suspended until the end of the year following an accusation of violence against his wife the previous month.[5][6]

Atlético Goianiense (loan)

On 13 January 2020, Jean was loaned to fellow top tier club Atlético Goianiense.[7] Before that, Ceará were interested in the goalkeeper's signing, but the move fell through after negative reaction from the club's supporters.

International career

On 15 May 2015 Jean was included in Brazil under-20s' final list ahead of that year's FIFA U-20 World Cup.[8]
