FC Dallas sent versatile defender/midfielder Jackson to Cruzeiro in Brazil on loan. The deal will last one year.
“Jackson needed to spend some time at home in Brazil for personal reasons,” said FC Dallas president and CEO Doug Quinn. “We recognized this and found an opportunity we think will be mutually beneficial.”
Initially the Brazilian settled into the Dallas team at right back in the second half of 2010. In the last MLS season he scored eight goals and added three assists and ended up playing the lone striker role in the playoffs.
“Jackson is going to be playing with a very good team in an excellent league, which will help him improve as a player,” said FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman. “This loan will also give him the chance to spend the time he needs close to his home.”
