Jessel was the captain of the Goa team which reached the semi-finals in the 2018-19 Santosh Trophy. At club level, the left back has represented Pune FC and Salgaocar FC apart from Dempo.

With Dempo, Carneiro was a vital component of the team which finished second behind FC Goa DEV in the highly competitive Goa Pro League (2018-19).

I am very happy to be a part of Kerala Blasters FC for my debut season of the Indian Super League.

This is going to be a turning point in my football career and I’m looking forward to an exciting and challenging season with the club.

My focus will be to align with the goals of the club and will put in the best of my abilities to achieve the same with the team
