Youth

Born in Dallas, Texas, after winning the Parade Boys Soccer National High School Player of the Year in 2008, Jeffrey signed with Club Brugge K.V. of Belgium.[1] However, after not being able to break into the first-team for Club Brugge, he decided to sign with German Bundesliga side 1. FSV Mainz 05, where he spent the next four seasons playing with the reserve side.[1]

D.C. United

On July 3, 2013 it was announced that Jeffrey had been picked up by Major League Soccer side D.C. United in a waiver draft that sent him to Washington DC.[1] He then made his professional debut for D.C. United on July 27 against the New England Revolution in which he started and played 79 minutes as D.C. United lost the match 1–2.[2] On August 3, Jeffrey scored his first goal with his new club, netting a pass from Conor Doyle to give United a 3–1 lead against Montreal Impact. United would go on to win by the same scoreline.[3]

International

Jeffrey had represented the United States at the under-17, under-20, and the under-23 levels.[1] Jeffrey spent three semesters in the U-17 men’s national team residency program, where he led all players with 39 caps. Jeffrey played for the US U-17 men’s national team in 2007 U-17 FIFA World Cup, making four starts as the US reached the Round of 16. The midfielder tallied once with a late penalty against Tunisia in the group stages.
