FEATURE: Hard-working Judson quickly becoming fan favorite
When the San Jose Earthquakes acquired midfielder Judson on loan from Tombense back in December, he was relatively unknown. He had played his entire career in his native Brazil, much of which was spent in the nation’s second division.
A quick Google search of his name brought up a few articles from South America with eye-catching words such as ‘tireless’ and ‘effort’ sprinkled throughout. In fact, this excerpt from 2018 – translated from Portuguese – tells you all you need to know about the now 26-year-old:
“The truth is that Judson arrived [at Avai] in 2016 without any posters or marketing, but won his space on the team, in the heart of the fan and recognition in the press.”
