Jairzinho Baylón was born in Lima, Peru on February 26, 1989 where he started playing Football just when he started walking as a child in the streets of Lima with local school boys. His family quickly put him into Alianza Lima's youth academy where he excelled through the ranks, and after just one season he then signed for Portuguese Liga club SC Braga.
SC Braga manager Jorge Costa said that the youngster is part of his plans to launch an assault on the UEFA Cup, in which Baylón will be playing for with the club.
