Jefferson Lee Louis (born 22 February 1979)[1] is a footballer who most recently played for Wealdstone. A forward, he has played in the Football League for Oxford United, Bristol Rovers and Mansfield Town, and is a Dominica international.

Club career

Louis was born in Harrow,[1] and raised in Harlesden, London. He and his mother moved to Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, when he was 17.[2] He played football for local clubs Risborough Rangers[3] and Thame United before, in 2001, he was convicted of dangerous driving while disqualified and sentenced to a year's imprisonment.[2] He served six months before being released from Woodhill Prison.[4] Louis joined Oxford United on an initial trial basis in February 2002[5] and impressed suitably to be handed a Football League debut, as a 78th-minute substitute for Dave Savage, in the club's final game of the season: a 2–1 home defeat to Darlington on 20 April 2002.[6] Retained by the club, the following season he attracted much media attention when, having scored the winner in Oxford United's televised FA Cup Second Round clash with Swindon Town,[7] he was captured naked live on television joyously celebrating the U's draw with the club, Arsenal, he supported as a boy.[4] Despite bearing his backside, the BBC received no complaints about his celebrations[8] and Louis was left to bask in his moment of fame.[9] The club would go on to lose the tie, at Highbury, 2–0 with Louis appearing as a 54th-minute substitute.[10] Despite the attention, his manager Ian Atkins felt that he failed to progress in the second-half of the season and he was transfer listed at the season's end.[11] On 31 July 2003 he agreed to join Woking on loan, the deal seeing him sign for one month with immediate recall, then two further months with the option of making the move permanent.[12] He was recalled from the loan on 15 September 2003,[13] and earned a recall to the first team. On 27 August 2004 he joined Gravesend & Northfleet on a month's loan,[14] before being recalled from his loan period on 24 September 2004 to enable him to sign for Forest Green Rovers.[15]

He made 10 league and cup appearances for Second Division side Bristol Rovers in 2005.[16][17] He joined Mansfield Town in January 2008 on a three-month contract and was released on 2 May 2008.[18][19] He joined Wrexham in June 2008,[20] scoring 15 goals in 42 appearances in the 2008–09 season. After having his contract with Wrexham terminated by mutual consent,[21] he joined Crawley Town on 24 May 2009.[22] He joined Rushden & Diamonds on loan on 12 November. However he limped off on his debut after 17 minutes. He did well at Nene Park, and on the last game of his original loan deal he scored twice against Barrow, prompting manager Edinburgh to keep him till the end of the season.[23]

He joined Gainsborough Trinity in June 2010,[24] but in October moved on to Conference National club Darlington on loan until January 2011, with the intention of the deal then being made permanent.[25] The deal fell through, so Louis returned to Gainsborough at the end of the loan.[26] Released by Gainsborough,[27] he played once for former club Weymouth, as a substitute in a 2–1 win at Hemel Hempstead Town, then returned to the Conference with Hayes & Yeading United.[28] Released by Hayes & Yeading at his own request in March, he rejoined Maidenhead United the following day.[29][30] After spending the first half of the 2011–12 season with Brackley Town, Louis joined Lincoln City on 31 January 2012.[31] In June 2012 he agreed a deal to rejoin his former Rushden & Diamonds manager Justin Edinburgh at Newport County.[32]

In November 2012 he joined Whitehawk on loan until his contract with Newport County expired on 1 January 2013.[33] He then switched to play for Brackley Town, making his re-debut at the turn of the year against Droylsden on 5 January 2013. By the end of the season he had scored 7 goals in 24 Conference North appearances, including the play-offs. He left Brackley at the end of the season and signed for Hendon in July 2013.[34] In February 2014, Louis joined Margate, before later playing for Wealdstone, his 31st team.[35]

International career

Louis represented Dominica in a 2010 World Cup qualifier against Barbados in March 2008, which Dominica lost 1–0.[36] Louis played up front with his cousin Richard Pacquette in this match.[37][38]
