Dominic William Jefferies (born 22 May 2002) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Brentford. He is a product of the Cardiff City and Newport County academies.
Career[]
Newport County[]
A midfielder, Jefferies came through the youth systems at Caerleon and Cardiff City, before joining the Newport County academy at the age of 14.[3] He signed a scholarship at the age of 16 and made six first team appearances during the first half of the 2019–20 season,[3] all in cup matches.[4] On 21 January 2020, Jefferies joined Southern League Premier Division South club Salisbury on an initial one-month work experience loan.[5] He made four appearances and scored one goal before being recalled to Rodney Parade after the initial one-month period,[6] due to an injury crisis.[7] Jefferies was an unused substitute during two further first team matches prior to the curtailment of the 2019–20 season in March 2020.[2][8] He was not offered a professional contract and was released in June 2020.[9]
Return to Salisbury[]
On 31 July 2020, Jefferies signed a permanent contract with Southern League Premier Division South club Salisbury.[10] Prior to the 2020–21 season being declared null and void in February 2021,[11] he had made 9 appearances and scored one goal.[6] Jefferies turned down a new contract and departed Salisbury in June 2021.[12] He made 13 appearances and scored two goals during his two spells at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium.[12]
Brentford[]
After spending much of the second half of the 2020–21 season on trial with the B team at Championship club Brentford, Jefferies transferred to the newly-promoted Premier League club on 24 June 2021.[13][14] He signed a one-year contract, with the option of a further year,[13] for a training compensation fee.[12] Following the departure of B team captain Nathan Shepperd in January 2022,[15] Jefferies took over the role.[16][17]
