Club career

Atlético Paranaense

Jádson began his career playing for Atlético Paranaense in Brazil.

Shakhtar Donetsk

In 2005, Jádson sealed a transfer to Shakhtar Donetsk. He supplied the winning goal in extra time for Shakhtar in a 2–1 victory to win the 2009 UEFA Cup Final against Werder Bremen in İstanbul and was named Man of the match,[1] as well as having previously scored 3 goals in the competition (a total of four in the UEFA Cup) and four goals in the Champions League including a hat-trick against FC Basel,[2] to bring his total to nine goals in European competitions in 2008–09.

International career

Jádson made his international debut for Brazil on 9 February 2011, coming off the bench in a 1–0 loss to France.[3] Jádson was called up to the Brazil squad for the 2011 Copa America held in Argentina. He was an unused substitute in their disappointing 0–0 draw against Venezuela in the first game.[4] However, he started the following match against Paraguay, replacing Robinho on the right wing after the former's limp display against Venezuela. He opened up the scoring with a long range shot, with Brazil eventually salvaging a 2–2 draw in the 89th minute.[5]
