In the 2015 season, Assis started the season when he scored in the fourth round of the Finnish League Cup, in a 12-0 win over Tampere United[23] and then scored his first league goal against VPS.[24] Assis then scored twice on 17 May 2015, in a 2-0 win over FC Ilves.[25] In the semi final of Finnish League Cup, Assis scored in a 5-1 win over HJK[26] and in the final of the Finnish Cup, he scored a brace, in a 2-1 win over FC Inter.[27] Assis finished the 2015 season, making thirty-eight appearance and scoring seven times in all competitions.
