[edit] Career

[edit] Brazil

Fred began his career in his native Brazil, playing for Olympic Barbacena, Tupi, América and Guarani.

[edit] Melbourne Victory

Fred signed for Australian club Melbourne Victory in 2006 and, despite a controversial three-game suspension for an alleged elbow, was one of the standouts of the 2006-07 A-League season. His popularity increased when he appeared in a television commercial promoting underwear. He was voted best A-League player for season 2 by the The World Game Team. In the 2007 A-League Grand Final against Adelaide United, Fred had four assists on the five goals scored by Archie Thompson.

[edit] D.C. United

After the season, Fred signed with Major League Soccer club DC United.[3][4] It was reported to be a matter of money, as United offered a guaranteed salary of $222,000 USD per year (which the Melbourne Victory cannot match due to the more stringent salary cap in the A-League).[5]

The name on the back of his DC United jersey is simply "Fred", despite initially being told he would have to use his proper last name, per MLS rules. He made his debut on 3 April 2007 against Chivas de Guadalajara in a CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal match. On 3 September 2008, Fred scored the game-winning goal in DC United's 2-1 win over the Charleston Battery in the US Open Cup Final.[citation needed]

[edit] Wellington Phoenix

On 14 November 2008, Fred was confirmed as a guest player for New Zealand based A-League club Wellington Phoenix.[6] He was scheduled to play six games for the Phoenix before returning to DC United for the next season. In his third game, he scored his first goal, against Adelaide United, although the Phoenix still lost 6-1. On 10 December 2008, Fred returned to Brazil due to his father's sudden death and on 18 December it was announced that Fred would not return to the Wellington Phoenix to complete his contract meaning he only appeared in three of his six scheduled games in New Zealand.[7]

[edit] Philadelphia Union

On 13 January 2010, Fred was traded to Philadelphia Union, along with DC United's 2010 first round SuperDraft pick, for its top spot in the allocation order, plus allocation money, in order to allow United to re-acquire goalkeeper Troy Perkins.[8] A list telling the players that were available for the new MLS Re-Entry Draft revealed that he was available for the draft due to being out of contact.[9]

[edit] New England Revolution

On 15 December 2010, Fred was chosen by the New England Revolution in the second round of the MLS Re-Entry Draft.[10] However, he declined the club's contract offer and pursued a contract outside of MLS.[11]

[edit] D.C. United redux

Unable to find an overseas employer, Fred returned to MLS and signed with D.C. United on 18 February 2011 after DC acquired his MLS rights from New England for a 2013 MLS SuperDraft pick.[12]

[edit] Melbourne Heart

On 20 June 2011, Fred was announced as one of Melbourne Heart's big name off-season signings, on a salary of $200,000 AUD for the season.[13] He came following his brief second stint at D.C. United of MLS, officially joining his new club when the international transfer window opened in mid-July, 2011.[14] Melbourne Heart are the direct cross-town rivals of Fred's former club, Melbourne Victory, with whom he achieved the 2006/07 Premiership and Championship double.[15] The two clubs will meet in the 3rd round of the 2011/12 season.

[edit] Personal life

Fred is the older brother of Junior Carreiro, who is also a professional footballer and midfielder and his former teammate at D.C. United in 2011.
