Jara made his debut for Herediano and played 422 league matches for them, a club record behind Germán Chavarría and Marvin Obando.[1] He totalled 452 matches including cup and international games.[2] In summer 2004 he left the club after 18 seasons after only being offered a six-month contract extension.[3] In 2008 Jara sued Herediano for outstanding payments and interests.[4]
He was dismissed by Puntarenas in November 2004 [5] and joined Belén in January 2005[6] only to move on to Ramonense later that year.[7]
In October 2002, he was reported as the most sent off-player of the Costa Rican league since 1970 with 23 expulsions.[8]
International careeredit
He was part of the national team squad, that played in the 1990 FIFA World Cup[9] held in Italy but he did not play in any game, reportedly because he was dating the Italian daughter of the owner of the hotel where they stayed and who tempted him to go out at night.[10] He made his debut in a May 1990 Marlboro Cup match against Poland and collected 11 caps, scoring no goals for the Ticos. He played his final international on March 27, 2002 against Morocco, averaging only 1 international per year.[11] Jara also represented Costa Rica at the 1999 UNCAF Nations Cup[12] as well as in the 1997 Copa América, playing against Colombia on June 16, 1997.[13]
