Career

[edit]

Jardel started his senior career with Spanish third-tier side Deportivo Fabril.[2] In 2020, he signed for Leça in the Portuguese third tier.[3] In 2021, Jardel signed for Portuguese second-tier club Feirense.[4] On 21 August 2022, he went viral on the internet after scoring a penalty with an unusual run-up and then missing a 90th-minute penalty using the same run-up during a 1–1 draw with Leixões.[5]

On 24 June 2023, Jardel signed a three-year contract with Primeira Liga club Vizela.[6]

On 14 February 2024, he joined Polish Ekstraklasa club Radomiak Radom on loan until the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent.[7] Two days later, he made his debut in the starting line-up in a 0–4 home loss against Pogoń Szczecin.[8] He returned to Vizela at the end of June 2024.[9]
