Jeffrey De Visscher (born May 5th 1981) is a professional footballer who is currently playing for Aberdeen.

FC Twente

From the age of 14, De Visscher played for FC Twente, and went on to sign professional terms with the club at the age of 18. Jeffrey stuggled to make the impact he was predicted to. However after a successful loan spell at FC Emmen followed, and while he was there, he impressed his coach at FC Twente to the extent that De Visscher was offered a 3-year deal with the club. However, he only played 21 games in two seasons, and was eventually moved out on loan to Heracles Almelo, where he helped the club gain promotion to the Eredivisie.

De Graafschap

De Visscher signed a two-year deal with De Graafschap once his contract with FC Twente had ended, and helped the club become champions of the Dutch First Division.

Aberdeen

In May 2007, De Visscher signed a two-year deal with Aberdeen. He didn't make as many starting appearances in his first season, however he did manage two goals in the Scottish Cup, one came in a reply against Falkirk and the other came against Celtic in a quarter-final tie. Aberdeen were later knocked out in the semi-finals against lower opposition; Queen of the South.

In the SPL he made a lot of substitute appearances, and towards the end of the season, he began to be a first team regular. Jeffrey's only league goal came against Hearts in a 4-1 defeat.

During the summer of 2008, Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood told an Aberdeen local paper, to expect big things from Jeffrey. Subsequently he was handed the number '17' shirt for Aberdeen's season of 2008-2009.
