Francisco da Costa

Francisco da Costa Menezes Jackson is a midfielder who plays in his home-country, Brazil, as a professional football. He began playing football in his home-town, Caucaia, where he signed up with the local team. He moved to Horizonte, a year later, in 2009 and spent a few months at the club before moving out to Tiradentes.

Jackson was spending his time shuffling between these city-level clubs and Caucaia was his destination, once again, for the final part of 2009. In 2010, after playing 18 games and scoring twice with Horizonte, Jackson finally got a breakthrough when Atletico Mineiro decided to give him a run-in with their squad. Since 2010, Jackson has been training and playing with the reserve squad at Atletico Mineiro although he has made around 10 substitute appearances for the team, scoring a solitary goal as well.
