LAFC have signed of free agent Jailson. The 29-year-old Brazilian’s deal runs through the 2025 season with club options for 2026 and 2027, the team announced Tuesday.

Jailson arrives after a stint in Spain with LaLiga side Celta de Vigo, where he tallied one goal and one assist across 30 appearances in all competitions. Over the course of his career, he has featured for Chapecoense, Grêmio, and Palmeiras in Brazil. Across 259 career matches, he’s recorded nine goals and five assists.

His addition comes at a crucial time for LAFC, who recently lost fellow Brazilian midfielder Igor Jesus to a season-ending injury. Jailson joins a midfield group anchored by Mark Delgado and Timothy Tillman, alongside summer arrivals Mathieu Choinière and Andrew Moran.

With eight games left in the regular season, the Black & Gold are pushing for a top-four finish in the Western Conference for the fourth consecutive year.
