Club career
editBorn in Port-au-Prince, Jean first took an interest in football at the age of nine, joining the École football Menard Jean Joseph.[2] He had spells with Club Sportif Saint Louis and América des Cayes, before departing for the Dominican Republic, where he turned professional with San Cristóbal, winning the 'Revelation of the Year' award in 2019.[2][3] He also played briefly for Jarabacoa before leaving to join Bolivian side Real Santa Cruz in 2021.[4][5]
At the end of the 2022 season, it was announced that Jean would join fellow Bolivian Primera División side Always Ready, with the winger being brought on the club's European tour, before being involved in pre-season.[6] Having featured in the Copa Libertadores, as Always Ready were knocked out in qualification by Chilean side Magallanes, Always Ready decided not to register Jean as one of their foreign players, and he returned to former club Real Santa Cruz on a loan deal in March 2023.[6][7]
Following four goals in eleven appearances, he was recalled by Always Ready.[6] Despite the coaching staff reportedly requesting the recall, the president of Real Santa Cruz, Carlos Sánchez, stated that negotiations were ongoing between the two clubs, in order to extend the loan deal.[8] However, the president of Guabirá, Rafael Paz, claimed that Jean would be joining the Montero-based club on a loan deal.[9][10]
International career
editHaving not represented Haiti at youth international level, Jean was called up to the full national team for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[11]
