Jairo David Vélez Cedeño (born April 21, 1995) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays for Peruvian Liga 1 club Universitario de Deportes, on loan from Universidad César Vallejo.

Club career

Vélez climbed through the youth ranks of Universidad Católica, later moving to River Plate Ecuador in 2010, where he debuted in the first team in 2013, scoring twice in the Ecuadorian Serie B. He was then scouted by Vélez Sarsfield along his teammate Danny Cabezas while playing friendly matches for River Plate Ecuador in Argentina.

The striker was first loaned and placed on the club's "5th Division" youth team, scoring 10 goals which helped the youth team win the 5th Division league in 2013. Vélez was then moved to the reserves in the same year and was brought up to the senior team for 2014 under manager Turu Flores, while still on loan. The Ecuadorian made his professional debut for Vélez Sársfield on April 27, also scoring his first goal for the club, in a 4–1 win against Rosario Central. On July 15 of 2014, Vélez Cedeño signed for 3 years with the club. Halfway through 2015, he moved to Universidad Católica on loan, where he achieved qualification to the 2016 Copa Sudamericana.

International career

In 2015, Vélez was selected to play for the Ecuador national under-20 football team in the South American Youth Championship.
