Jason Richard de Vos (born January 2, 1974) is a Canadian soccer executive, coach, and former player who currently serves as an assistant coach with Toronto FC in Major League Soccer. While representing his country, he was part of the national team that won the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Club career

Early career

Jason de Vos began his professional career in 1990 as a 15-year-old high schooler with hometown club the London Lasers of the former Canadian Soccer League (CSL). When the club folded he joined the Kitchener Kickers, also of the CSL. When the latter club also folded he rejoined the re-established Lasers in 1992, the last year of operations for the CSL.

Montreal Impact

Known for his ability in the air, De Vos spent the next five seasons with the Montreal Impact of the then American Professional Soccer League, the last two on loan to English Third Division club Darlington.

Career abroad

In 1998, De Vos first signed a contract with Darlington before moving to Dundee United of the Scottish Premier League in October on a £400,000 transfer. He spent three seasons with The Terrors, captaining the side in 2000–01. He was then signed by Wigan Athletic of the then English Second Division for £500,000 in 2001. De Vos captained the side to its promotion to the First Division in 2002–03 and was named in that season's PFA Division Two Team of the Year.[1] Following an injury-plagued 2003–04, which saw Wigan just miss out on a Premier League play-off place, De Vos left on a Bosman transfer and joined Ipswich Town. Since joining Ipswich, he held down a regular place in the centre of defence, often playing through many injuries and even captaining the team in Jim Magilton's absence. In June 2006, Magilton was appointed manager of Ipswich Town and made de Vos the new captain.[2] He retired from club and international soccer in 2008.[3]

International career

De Vos represented Canada at the 1991 Pan American Games.[4] He appeared in 49 full internationals, scoring four goals.[5] He debuted on August 19, 1997, in a 1–0 home loss friendly to Iran. He has represented Canada in 11 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and played at the 2001 Confederations Cup.[6] He captained the Canadian team from 1999 until his retirement from international soccer in 2004. De Vos was named a tournament all-star for both the 2000 and 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup tournaments, in which Canada were placed first and third respectively. He scored the winning goal in the final of the 2000 Gold Cup, a match Canada won 2–0 over Colombia.

Retirement

After the final match of the 2007–08 season in the 1–0 win over Hull City, De Vos announced his immediate retirement from playing to take up a media role in his native Canada and was given a guard of honour and standing ovation during the teams parade lap of the pitch.[7][8]

De Vos will also scout players from the MLS for former-club Ipswich Town.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
