United lost the match 1–2.[2] On August 3, Jeffrey scored his first goal with his new club, netting a pass from Conor Doyle to give United a 3–1 lead against Montreal Impact. United would go on to win by the same scoreline.[3]

Jeffrey had represented the United States at the under-17, under-20, and the under-23 levels.[1] Jeffrey spent three semesters in the U-17 men’s national team residency program, where he led all players with 39 caps.
