After being an afterthought in 2015, Jeffrey has made 11 appearances for the Black-and-Red in 2016, capped off by his crucial goal against Real Salt Lake
Three weeks ago, Jared Jeffrey walked off the field at the Maryland SoccerPlex, head down, distraught at what had just taken place. After a scoreless 120 minutes against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the US Open Cup, Jeffrey stepped up to the spot for D.C. United’s fifth penalty, and smashed it off of the crossbar. Moments later, the Strikers converted their fifth, sending the NASL side onto the next round of the Open Cup.
