Jadson (footballer, born November 1991)

Jadson Cristiano Silva de Morais (born 5 November 1991), known as Jadson, is a Brazilian professional footballer who currently plays for Chinese Super League club Shandong Taishan as a centre-back.

Early career
Jadson played for Brazilian side America before joining Campeonato Carioca club Bonsucesso, where he made his debut for them in a league game on 31 January 2015 against Resende that ended in a 1-0 defeat.

Portimonense
After a season, Jadson joined Portuguese second tier club Portimonense where he integrated himself into the team before going on to win the 2016–17 LigaPro division title and promotion to the top tier with them.

His first season within the top tier of Portuguese initially saw him struggle to gain much playing time; however the following season he established himself as part of the team's defence as he helped keep the club within the division. Jadson was part of the team that finished in the relegation zone at the end of the 2019–20 Primeira Liga season; however they were given a reprieve after Vitória de Setúbal failed to gain a licence for the next season and were administratively relegated to the third-tier Campeonato de Portugal.

Loan to Vasco da Gama
Jadson returned to Brazil to join top tier club Vasco da Gama on loan.

Loan to Wuhan Three Towns
This was followed by another loan period, to China to join second tier club Wuhan Three Towns on 26 February 2021.

Loan to Shandong Taishan
After seven games, in which Wuhan took the lead in the division, Jadson returned to Portimonense who loaned him out to top tier Chinese club Shandong Taishan on 27 July 2021 for the remainder of the 2021 season. Jadson gained his first league title with the club when he was part of the team that won the 2021 Chinese Super League title.

Shandong Taishan
In the following season Jadson's move was made permanent and he was part of the team winning the 2022 Chinese FA Cup the next season. On 20 February 2024 during the 2023–24 AFC Champions League Round of 16 fixture against Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale, Jadson scored a last minute winner in the 90+7 minute injury time which put Shandong Taishan to qualified to the quarter-finals on a 6–5 aggregate.
