His irregularity, due to a series of injuries, took its toll on left-handed winger Jefferson Montero, who was declared transferable in the Querétaro box after finishing in the penultimate location of the Apertura 2021 tournament.
Montero, 32, arrived at Gallos Blancos earlier this year; His arrival was key to signing Antonio Valencia, former Manchester United captain, who was without a team after leaving the Quito League in July 2020.
Jeff only participated in 20 games (13 in the Clausura and 7 in the Apertura) of the 34 that the Gallos Blancos faced and this forced the board to include him in their transfer list along with 9 other elements.
During his time abroad, he never managed to consolidate due to physical or adaptation problems. He went through clubs in Spain, England and the Mexican Dorados de Sinaloa and Monarca Morelia.
His most regular season in the first division was in 2011 with the Levante shirt of the Spanish La Liga, to which he arrived on loan from Villarreal, where he teamed up on offense with the tricolor Felipe Caicedo.
On February 6, 2018, the tricolores were included by a Valencia court in the list of 42 defendants (37 of them footballers) for a suspicion of fixing the match of the Spanish First Division between Zaragoza and Levante, which was played in May 2011.
After knowing this request of justice and not having opportunities in Getafe CF, he decided to accept Emelec’s proposal, in the squad that debuted as a professional in 2007. He only acted in 14 commitments (12 for the national tournament and 2 for Copa Libertadores ).
In December of that year, the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencia region “rejected that this meeting was rigged” and acquitted all those accused of the crime of sports corruption, including Montero and Caicedo.
With the selection of Ecuador, he acted in the elimination processes to South Africa 2010 (he did not qualify) and was key to obtaining the ticket to Brazil 2014, a world championship in which he only participated in the group stage. (D)
