Jefté Vital da Silva Dias, or simply 'Jefté' if you can't be bothered with the formality, is a Brazilian-born defender currently plying his trade over at Rangers. Born on 21st of December, 2003, he's a bit of a spring chicken even at the ripe old age of 20.
Standing at a respectable 6ft tall and tipping the scales at just under 12 stone, he fills out the left-back position quite adequately. He struts about in the number 22 jersey, bless him.
Breaking onto the scene in the 2023-2024 season, his performances were... well, let's say "noteworthy". 31 appearances and a whopping three goals under his belt, one might even call that a roaring success... if one was prone to wild exaggerations.
Moving into the 2024-2025 season, his debut with Rangers has been... quiet, to say the least. Not a hair out of place nor a jersey dirtied as his first team appearances stand proudly at nil.
Prior to his stint at Rangers, our Brazilian wonder kid spent time with APOEL in Cyprus. And guess what? Yes, 31 appearances and three goals again, quite the consistent lad he is. One must respect a player who can maintain such a... 'distinctive' record.
