Club career

Early career

Jeh was born in Cidade Tiradentes, a district of São Paulo, and played amateur football for most of his career, aside from a short period at Mauaense's youth categories.[1] In 2020, he made his senior debut with Itapirense in the year's Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão, scoring once in just two matches.

In February 2021, Jeh moved to Campeonato Paulista Série A3 side Olímpia,[2] but only played in a single match for the side. Back to Itapirense for the 2022 season, he became a regular starter and helped the side to achieve promotion to the Paulista A3 with 12 goals, being the top scorer of the competition.[3]

Ponte Preta

In October 2022, Jeh joined Ponte Preta for a trial period.[4] He officially signed for the club on 31 December,[5] and scored four times in three matches before Ponte reached an agreement with Itapirense for a permanent deal; the agreement was announced the following 27 January.[6]

Jeh was Ponte's top scorer in the 2023 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 with ten goals (the second-best of the competition) as the club achieved promotion as champions. On 12 April 2023, his new contract until 2027 was registered.[7]
