Carlos Wilson Cachicote da Rocha (born 1 May 1989), commonly known as Rudy, is an Angolan professional footballer who plays for C.R.D. Libolo as an attacking midfielder or a forward.

Club career

Born in Oeiras, Lisbon District, Rudy played lower league football until the age of 22, his first stop being with Sporting Clube Linda-a-Velha in the Lisbon regional championships. In 2011 he signed with Cercle Brugge KSV, scoring 13 goals in 33 games in his first season to help his team to the seventh position in the Belgian Pro League as well as the UEFA Europa League final playoff, lost to K.A.A. Gent;[1] he found the net in only his second appearance, a 1–1 home draw against R.A.E.C. Mons.

Rudy joined Deportivo de La Coruña from Spain in the 2013 summer, as a free agent.[2] He returned to Portugal a few months afterwards, being loaned to former youth club C.F. Os Belenenses.

In August 2014, Rudy's Deportivo contract was cancelled by mutual consent and he signed for Greek club Skoda Xanthi F.C.[3] Late in the year, he returned to the land of his ancestors and joined C.R.D. Libolo.[4]

International career

Rudy's mother is Angolan, and his father hails from São Tomé e Príncipe. He chose to represent the former national team internationally, and accepted a callup for a pair of games in May 2014.[5]

In July 2014, Rudy was asked to switch his international allegiance to Angola.[6] He made his international debut in a friendly with Ethiopia on 3 August, playing the final 30 minutes in a 1–0 win at the Estádio 11 de Novembro.[7][8]
