Club career

Talan began playing youth football for VV Katwijk, before moving to FC Den Haag.{{cite news |last1=Oostdam |first1=Gerben |title=De liefde van Jeffrey Talan voor Katwijk roest niet |url=https://voetbalindebollenstreek.nl/het-katwijk-van-jeffrey-talan/ |work=Voetbal in de Bollenstreek |date=8 September 2016 |language=nl}} There, he made his debut in the Eredivisie in the 1990–91 season in the 2–0 away win over FC Volendam as a late substitute for Emiel van Eijkeren.{{cite web |title=FC Volendam – FC Den Haag 0:2 (Eredivisie 1990/1991, 4.

After impressing at the second level with ADO for three seasons, Talan signed with Eredivisie club SC Heerenveen in the summer of 1995 after a deal with Swiss club Grasshoppers fell through.{{cite news |title=Talan mag spelen voor Heerenveen |url=https://leiden.courant.nu/issue/LD/1995-07-15/edition/0/page/21 |work=Leidsch Dagblad |date=15 July 1995 |page=21 |language=nl}}{{cite news |title=FOTO’S {{!}} Jeffrey Talan is blij om weer veel op het veld te staan |url=https://heerenveensecourant.nl/artikel/1075786/foto-s-jeffrey-talan-is-blij-om-weer-veel-op-het-veld-te-staan.html |work=Heerenveense Courant |date=23 January 2020 |language=nl}} He made his debut on 15 July 1995 in the UEFA Intertoto Cup match against Hungarian club Békéscsaba, coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute for Johan Hansma.{{cite web |title=sc Heerenveen – Békéscsabai Előre FC 4:0 (UI-Cup 1995/1996, Group 4) |url=https://www.worldfootball.net/report/ui-cup-1995-1996-gruppe-4-sc-heerenveen-bekescsaba-1912-eloere-se/ |website=worldfootball.net |access-date=9 December 2021 |language=en}} He scored his first goal for the club on 4 October in a 3–1 away win over NEC.{{cite web |title=NEC Nijmegen – sc Heerenveen 1:3 (Eredivisie 1995/1996, 8.

On 6 April 1996, he scored his first hat-trick in a 4–2 win over FC Utrecht.{{cite web |title=sc Heerenveen – FC Utrecht 4:2 (Eredivisie 1995/1996, 29.

Talan made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League on 12 September 2000, after Heerenveen had qualified for the tournament by finishing second in the Eredivisie in the 1999–2000 season.{{cite news |last1=Huizinga |first1=Arthur |title=Honderd jaar sc Heerenveen: hoe een Russische Fin heel even Abe mocht zijn |url=https://nos.nl/artikel/2341244-honderd-jaar-sc-heerenveen-hoe-een-russische-fin-heel-even-abe-mocht-zijn |work=nos.nl |date=20 July 2020 |language=nl}} In a 3–1 loss in the first group stage game to Lyon, Talan also scored his first and only goal in the competition; a chip over goalkeeper Grégory Coupet after a through-ball by Daniel Jensen.{{cite web |title=Twintig jaar geleden: debuut in Champions League |url=https://www.sc-heerenveen.nl/nieuws/2020/twintig-jaar-geleden-debuut-in-champions-league |website=sc Heerenveen |language=nl-NL |date=12 September 2020}} In played in all six group stage games, as Heerenveen finished bottom.{{cite web |title=Champions League 2000/2001 – Preliminary Gr.

He retired from professional football in December 2002 due to a lingering injury to his right knee.{{cite news |title=Jeffrey Talan: De knie wil niet meer |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/jeffrey-talan-de-knie-wil-niet-meer |work=Voetbal International |date=23 December 2002 |language=nl}} He managed a total of 201 appearances for Heerenveen, scoring 47 goals. After retiring, he played shortly for Derde Klasse club Olyphia from Noordwolde under future Heerenveen manager Johnny Jansen.
International career
On 10 October 1998, Talan made his debut for the Netherlands national team in the friendly against Peru after receiving his first call-up by new coach Frank Rijkaard.{{cite news |last1=Verkamman |first1=Matty |title=Talan moet Oranje meer leven op rechts geven |url=https://www.trouw.nl/nieuws/talan-moet-oranje-meer-leven-op-rechts-geven~b95a68a7/ |work=Trouw |date=10 October 1998 |language=nl-NL}} Thereby, he became the third ever Heerenveen player to appear for the national team after Abe Lenstra and Germ Hofma. In the run-up to the UEFA Euro 2000 hosted by the Netherlands and Belgium, he made five appearances for the national team. During the Euros, however, Talan was sidelined with a serious knee injury. After the tournament, new coach Louis van Gaal called up Talan for three 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in which he scored once.{{cite web |last1=Vink |first1=Marcel |title=Omringd door de wereldtop |url=http://www.onsoranje.nl/nieuws/artikel/5531/omringd-door-de-wereldtop |website=onsoranje |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101219100925/http://www.onsoranje.nl/nieuws/artikel/5531/omringd-door-de-wereldtop |archive-date=19 December 2010 |language=nl |date=7 October 2010 |url-status=dead}}
Style of play
Talan has been described as "real, almost orthodox" right winger, who was able to beat defenders one-on-one. Growing up, he modelled his play after Gerald Vanenburg.
