He made 21 appearances in the Primeira Divisão for Felgueiras, 84 in the Football League for Ipswich Town, Rotherham United and Plymouth Argyle, and five in the Scottish Premier League for Hibernian.

Ipswich
Jean famously told the local media that despite his short stature he could leap very high - he was therefore nicknamed 'The Flea'. In December 1996 he made his only appearance for Ipswich Town, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Stoke City.
Rotherham
Jean was leading scorer for Rotherham United F.C. during the 1996–97 season, prior to moving to Plymouth Argyle F.C. in 1997.[1]
International career
Jean was a member of the Saint Lucia national team from 1992 to 2004.
Coaching career
After his retirement in December 2009 Jean began his coaching career as assistant coach of his former Saint Lucia national team head coach Stuart Charles Fevrier by W Connection.[2]
