BIOGRAPHY

Jamiro Monteiro was born November 23, 1993, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He is a midfielder in Major League Soccer. 

In March 2019, Monteiro secured a four-month loan move to Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer with options to extend the loan and purchase. His performance with the Union justified the team to extend his loan to the conclusion of the 2019 season. Monteiro finished his first season in MLS making 26 appearances, 22 of which as part of the starting lineup. He scored four goals and provided nine assists ultimately helping the Union to their first-ever playoff win. On January 10, 2020, contrary to previous reports of him returning to Metz, Monteiro was signed permanently by the Union for a club-record fee of $2 million. He signed a three-year deal with the club as a Designated Player. Monteiro finished the 2020 season with four goals and four assists contributing to the Union's first major trophy in the 2020 Supporters' Shield.
