Jese, who has played for top clubs such as Real Madrid, Paris St Germain, Sampdoria, and Real Betis, is considered a marquee signing for JDT due to his impressive football accolades in Europe.

The 31-year-old joins the club as a free agent, having left Brazilian club Coritiba in January.

"He's played at big clubs and all the top divisions. A two-time UEFA Champions League winner is now JDT family," said a statement from JDT.

Jese is expected to be a key player in the club's AFC Champions League Elite campaign this season.
