Career

Born in Bishop Auckland, Jeffries was a talented winger who began his career at Norwich City, where opportunities were limited.[1] After moving to Bradford City, he made 55 appearances in the Football League (scoring 11 goals), and 4 appearances in the FA Cup (scoring once).[3][1] Jeffries then signed for Derby County, where he again found opportunities limited, before joining Sheffield United for £3,200 in June 1939.[1]

Jeffries played all 3 matches for Sheffield United in the ill-fated 1939–40 season, helping them to two wins and a draw before the season was abandoned due to the outbreak of World War II. Despite the war meaning he did not play any more Football League matches for the Blades, Jeffries did make 48 wartime appearances, scoring 10 goals.[4] After the war, Jeffries joined Basingstoke Town.[2]
