On 29 January 2010, an agreement was reached between Randers and Norwegian club Kongsvinger for da Cruz to go on a one-year loan spell. Both Randers and da Cruz himself felt that he had not lived up to expectations during his first year in Denmark, and that a move to Norwegian football might prove beneficial.[3][4] Kongsvinger where newcomers to the Norwegian top flight Tippeligaen in 2010, having gained promotion in 2009. On 1 February 2011, da Cruz announced he would move to IFK Norrköping playing in Allsvenskan. He signed a three-year contract with the Swedish top flight club.
