Jefferson Andrew Alphonse (born June 12, 2003) is a Canadian soccer player who plays for HFX Wanderers FC in the Canadian Premier League.

Early life

[edit]

Alphonse began playing youth soccer at age eight with FC Anjou.[1] He later joined the CF Montréal Academy and was invited to attend pre-season with the first team ahead of the 2023 season.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Alphonse began his senior career with CF Montréal U23 in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec.[3] In 2023 and 2024, he played with CS St-Laurent.[4] During 2023, he was invited to play with the HFX Wanderers U23 team for a couple of exhibition matches against German club Holstein Kiel U23.[5] After playing with St-Laurent in the 2024 Canadian Championship, he went on trial with Cavalry FC of the Canadian Premier League for a week in June 2024, but did not sign as they had some issues with roster management.[4]

In late June 2024, Alphonse signed a professional contract with the HFX Wanderers of the Canadian Premier League for the remainder of the 2024 CPL season with club options for 2025 and 2026.[6][7][8] He made his debut on July 1, in a substitute appearance, against Cavalry FC.[9]

International career

[edit]

In April 2022, Alphonse was called up to the Canada U20 for the first time for a training camp, before later being named to the squad for the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.[1]
