*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Delson Ferreira, known as Delson (born 26 July 1980), is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as defensive midfielder. He also held a Portuguese passport.

Football career

Born in Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Delson began playing with Grêmio Esportivo Inhumense, moving to Portugal in 2001 to represent S.C. Salgueiros (by then in the top level). He made his debut in the competition on 16 September 2001, playing 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against S.C. Braga.

As the club from Paranhos folded after the 2003–04 season, Delson joined Rio Ave FC, where he became an instant first-choice. After suffering relegation in 2006, he contributed with 24 games and two goals to the team's return to the first division after two years.

In late June 2009, Delson signed with Greece's AEL 1964 FC. In January of the following year, however, he returned to Portugal, helping lowly S.C. Olhanense retain its top flight status and moving to the Algarve side permanently at the season's end.
