Jéferson Wagner de Lima Bólico (born 7 February 1997), known as Jéferson Lima or just Jéferson, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for São José-SP.

Career

Born in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, Jéferson finished his formation with São Paulo, but moved to Internacional soon after the 2017 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.[1] Initially a member of the under-23 team, he made his professional debut on 17 October of that year, starting in a 0–0 Série B away draw against Boa Esporte.[2]

Jéferson then returned to the under-23 team of Inter, before being loaned out to Paraná on 11 January 2019.[3] Rarely used, he returned to his parent club in June,[4] and spent a period back at the under-23s before joining Confiança also in a temporary deal on 13 December.[5]

A regular starter, Jéferson scored his first senior goal on 1 February 2020, netting the opener in a 1–1 Copa do Nordeste away draw against Botafogo-PB.[6] On 15 February of the following year, he moved to fellow Série B side Remo.[7]

On 20 April 2021, Jéferson left Remo by mutual consent,[8] and finished the season at Rio Claro, club he already represented as a youth. He joined Taubaté on 13 December,[9] before signing for Campinense on 20 March 2022.[10]

On 9 January 2023, Juventus-SP announced the signing of Jéferson.[11] On 26 May, he moved to São José-SP.[12]
