Tough-tackling midfielder Jeff joined City on a six-month loan from Cardiff in August 2006.<\/P>
A Northern Ireland international who was born in Zambia and raised in Wales, he began his career at Manchester City, making his professional debut aged 17 in 1996.<\/P>
He quickly established himself as a regular at Maine Road and went on to make over 100 appearances for the club, while also becoming the first black player to represent Northern Ireland in 1997.<\/P>
Loan spells at Wrexham and Notts County preceded a free transfer to Sunderland in 2003 and during a two-year spell on Wearside Jeff helped the Mackems gain promotion to the Premiership.<\/P>
He switched to Cardiff in 2005 and played 38 games last season before an influx of summer arrivals at Ninian Park increased competition for places.<\/P>","vieelFL1Nn8h8JmYdD88Jw==":"","Oi2AkxqYKYI5Mrg3HoixGw==":"1975-4-15","iR2gRs0o68iQJ\/8H\/ze6Pg==":"\uc2a4\ud1a0\ud06c\uc2dc\ud2f0 FC,\uc120\ub35c\ub79c\ub4dc,\ub178\uce20 \uce74\uc6b4\ud2f0","DxUT9FJyi\/0=":"3694","MFBbo0krmFc=":"327","6rG+khnOjQFpPTu7aZGoEw==":"999","4SqajqSJNGQ5Mrg3HoixGw==":"1","twlPuup4QdU=":"70kg","blLWiZoci04=":"175cm","e_index":6}; var playerStats={"e_index":6};
