Jefté Baicu Betancor Sánchez (born 6 July 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Super League Greece club Panserraikos.
Club career
[edit]Spain
[edit]Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Betancor was noted as a 17-year-old at UD Vecindario, being called to the Canary Islands autonomous team and invited by Real Madrid to play an international tournament with its youth side in April 2011.[1] In the 2011–12 season, Hércules CF director of football Sergio Fernández decided to sign the player for the club's youth system, and he immediately started appearing for the reserves in the regional leagues.
On 27 August 2011, first-team manager Juan Carlos Mandiá handed Betancor his professional debut, as he played injury time in a 2–0 home win against FC Cartagena in the Segunda División.[2][3] After his release, he competed solely in his country's lower leagues until 2018, which included two spells at CF Unión Viera.[4]
Austria
[edit]Betancor moved abroad in early 2018, signing with modest Austrian side ATSV Stadl-Paura. In the ensuing off-season he joined SV Mattersburg also in the country,[5] making his first appearance in top-flight football on 11 August and scoring in the Bundesliga away fixture against TSV Hartberg (4–2 loss).[6] On 22 January 2019, he was loaned to SK Vorwärts Steyr until 30 June.[7]
On 26 June 2019, Betancor joined SV Ried also in Austria.[8] He was crowned 2. Liga champion in his only season.[9]
Romania
[edit]Betancor moved to Romania in September 2020 with FC Voluntari,[10] helping the club retain its Liga I status before signing for FCV Farul Constanța the next summer.[11] In December 2021, he was handed the Foreign Player of the Year award by the Gazeta Sporturilor daily after netting 19 times during the calendar year.[12]
On 18 June 2022, Betancor transferred to five-time defending champions CFR Cluj.[13]
