Jobson Souza Santos (born 13 September 1995), simply known as Jobson (pronounced as /pt-BR/), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Saudi Arabian club Al-Jabalain.
Born in São Paulo, Jobson finished his formation with Palmeiras. On 29 November 2015, he made his first team – and Série A – debut, coming on as a substitute for Agustín Allione in a 2–0 away loss against Coritiba.[1]
On 2 March 2016, Jobson was loaned to Santo André until the end of the Campeonato Paulista Série A2.[2] He subsequently served another loan stint at Nacional-SP before leaving the club.
On 30 May 2017, Jobson agreed to a permanent deal with Náutico.[3] He contributed with ten league appearances during the season's Série B, as his side suffered relegation.
On 9 May 2018, after scoring the winning goal of the Campeonato Pernambucano final against Central, Jobson extended his contract until April 2019.[4]
On 10 September 2018, Jobson was loaned to Red Bull Brasil for the Copa Paulista.[5] On 19 December, he signed a permanent deal after Red Bull activated his release clause.[6]
Jobson impressed during the 2019 Campeonato Paulista, helping his side win the Troféu do Interior and attracting interest from various Série A clubs.[7]
On 16 April 2019, Jobson joined Santos in the top tier on a five-year deal.[8] He only made his debut for the club on 17 October, starting in a 2–1 home win against Ceará.[9]
Jobson was rarely used by manager Jorge Sampaoli during his first year, but featured more regularly under Jesualdo Ferreira. He scored his first goal for Peixe on 3 March 2020, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 Copa Libertadores away win against Defensa y Justicia; it was also his debut match in the competition.[10]
On 10 November 2020, it was announced that Jobson and a further six first team players tested positive for COVID-19.[11] The following 18 January, he was sidelined for the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury.[12]
Jobson returned to action on 10 October 2021, replacing Camacho late into a 1–0 home win over Grêmio.[13] After being left out of the main squad during the 2022 season, he returned to Náutico on loan on 6 July 2022.[14]
