Jerry Ricardo Bengtson Bodden (born 8 April 1987) is a Honduran professional footballer who plays as a striker for the Honduras national team.

Club career[]

Vida[]

On 13 August 2007, Bengtson made his official debut for C.D. Vida against Olimpia. He scored his first goal against Real España on 30 September 2007 in the 1–1 tie in San Pedro Sula. During his stay at Vida he scored 32 goals.[1]

Motagua[]

On 26 November 2010, F.C. Motagua reached an agreement with Vida, for the acquisition of Bengtson, signing a three-year contract.[2] He scored his first goal with Motagua on 30 January 2011 in the 1–0 win over C.D. Marathón.[3]

On 8 May 2011, Bengtson scored his 13th goal of the Clausura Tournament in the first leg of the final against Olimpia. This goal put him in first place among the league's top scorers and enabled him to become the first Honduran-born player to achieve the feat in three consecutive tournaments after winning the previous two with C.D. Vida. He would go on to score two more goals in the second leg to solidify his title as the league's top scorer.

In the early part of 2012, Jerry suffered his worst goal drought in his career in Honduras, scoring only 2 goals in 18 games. With the forthcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, the lack of goals concerned the Honduran people. This was because of Jerry's role as main goalscorer in the Honduras National Football Team, due to Carlo Costly being a free agent making him unreliable.

New England Revolution[]

Bengtson was officially unveiled by New England as a Designated Player on 5 July 2012.[4]

Persepolis[]

Bengtson signed a one-year contract with Persepolis on 1 August 2015. He made his debut in the final 20 minutes of Persepolis' match against Sepahan. He scored his first goal for Persepolis on 25 September 2015 against Tractor Sazi. He scored Persepolis' only goal in a 1–1 draw against important rivals Esteghlal in the Tehran derby in stoppage time of second half.

Bengtson scored a brace on 22 April 2016, in a 2–0 victory against Esteghlal Ahvaz which kept Persepolis at the top of the table.

Zob Ahan[]

Bengtson signed with Persian Gulf Pro League side Zob Ahan in July 2016.

International career[]
