Jerónimo Morales Neumann (born 3 June 1986), known as Jerónimo, is a retired Argentine professional footballer.

Club career

Jerónimo has previously played for a number of clubs in his home country, including River Plate, San Lorenzo, Instituto, Estudiantes de La Plata and Independiente Rivadavia. In February 2015, he signed for Club Atlético Tigre after a stint in Australia with Adelaide United and Newcastle Jets.[http://www.paladarmillonario.com/ex-river/jeronimo-morales-un-ex-river-a-tigre/ Jerónimo Morales, un ex River a Tigre]{{Dead link|date=October 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Paladar Millonario. On 6 January 2016, he returned to former club Independiente Rivadavia.

=Barnsley=

Jerónimo signed for Barnsley on 29 July 2010, signing a one-year contract with an option of a second year. He had been on trial with the South Yorkshire outfit prior to signing a permanent deal, making two appearances in pre-season games against Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday.[http://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/page/MediaAnnouncements/0,,10309~2105553,00.html Barnsley Media Announcements]. barnsleyfc.co.uk. His first appearance for Barnsley after signing on a one-year contract, was on the same day against non-league Buxton, where he scored his first goal for the club, in a friendly match.[http://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10309~2106103,00.html Match report – Barnsley – Buxton]. barnsleyfc.co.uk.

=Adelaide United=

On 10 August 2012, it was announced Jerónimo had agreed to terms with Australian club Adelaide United on a one-year contract pending a successful medical clearance.[http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/adelaide-sign-a-second-argentine/48492 Adelaide sign a second Argentine] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110122654/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/adelaide-sign-a-second-argentine/48492 |date=10 November 2012 }}. footballaustralia.com.au. Retrieved 10 August 2012. Jerónimo scored his first goal for the club in Adelaide United's 3–2 away leg loss to FC Bunyodkor in the clubs' 2012 AFC Champions League campaign. Jerónimo scored within 40 seconds of being introduced as a substitute in the 61st minute.[http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/7873023/Phoenixs-unbeaten-run-ends-against-Adelaide Phoenixs unbeaten run ends against Adelaide]. stuff.co.nz. Retrieved 27 October 2012. In Round 1, he supplied a clinical ball to Dario Vidošić for the first goal, 50 seconds into the match against Newcastle Jets. Adelaide United won the match 0–2. He was subsequently named Man of the Match.

A week later he scored his first A-League goal against Western Sydney Wanderers in Adelaide on 12 October, making amends for a penalty he had earlier missed. The goal was somewhat historic, as it was the first-ever goal the Wanderers had conceded in the A-League. On 27 October, Jerónimo supplied an assist and scored two of Adelaide United's goals to help Adelaide United to a 3–1 come-from-behind victory over Wellington Phoenix at Hindmarsh Stadium in Round 4. The match was embroiled in controversy with Adelaide being awarded an offside goal. The referee later adjudged Jerónimo to be illegally tackled, which led to Wellington Phoenix defender Ben Sigmund being red carded. The Australian media judged that while Sigmund did foul Jerónimo after making contact with him, Jerónimo fell down theatrically.{{cite web|last=Brooks|first=Rob|title=Cheats, divers and handballs|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story/_/id/1205787/a-league-angle:-cheats,-divers-and-handballs?cc=4716|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130124182735/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story/_/id/1205787/a-league-angle:-cheats,-divers-and-handballs?cc=4716|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 January 2013|publisher=ESPN|accessdate=31 December 2012}}{{cite web|last=Howcroft|first=Jonathan|title=A-League's Kafkaesque system spares Jeronimo|url=http://www.backpagelead.com.au/soccer/7833-a-leagues-kafkaesque-system-spares-jeronimo|publisher=BackPageLead|accessdate=31 December 2012}}

It was revealed that Jerónimo was originally signed as a loan player from Paraguay club Sol de América, and was released from his contract on 12 December 2012, allowing the Argentine forward to sign on for a further two-years with the Adelaide United.{{cite news | title = Jeronimo to remain a Red till 2015 | date = 13 December 2012 | publisher = Football Federation Australia | url = http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/adelaideunited/news-display/Jeronimo-to-remain-a-Red-till-2015/55429 | work = Adelaide United FC | accessdate = 13 December 2012}}

On 18 July 2014, Jerónimo joined Newcastle Jets.{{cite web|url=http://www.newcastlejets.com.au/article/jeronimo-joins-jets/y7whtb7xtlu51uqzqo08xezjs|title=Jeronimo joins Jets|date=18 July 2014|publisher=Football Federation Australia|access-date=11 August 2014|archive-date=12 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812233702/http://www.newcastlejets.com.au/article/jeronimo-joins-jets/y7whtb7xtlu51uqzqo08xezjs|url-status=dead}}

He scored his first goal for the club in the 2–1 away defeat to Perth Glory on 1 November 2014. His contract was terminated by mutual consent by the Jets on 4 February 2015.{{cite web|url=http://www.newcastlejets.com.au/article/jeronimo-departs-jets/ov0qzx8hwfqg16pu5uudymd8v|title=Jeronimo departs Jets|date=4 February 2015|publisher=Football Federation Australia|access-date=4 February 2015|archive-date=4 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204120650/http://www.newcastlejets.com.au/article/jeronimo-departs-jets/ov0qzx8hwfqg16pu5uudymd8v|url-status=dead}}
