Career

On 6 July 2010, he was loaned out to Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 2. Bundesliga. He made his debut in the DFB-Pokal match against TuS Koblenz on 15 August 2010 and scored his first goal – a wide distance shot from 35 meters – as a substitute during a 1–2 defeat against Hertha BSC Berlin on 30 August.[1]

In the winter break, he returned to Brazil, transferring to Figueirense on loan.[2]

On 2 August 2012, his contract until June 2013 at Hoffenheim was terminated in mutual consent.[3] After playing for EC Pelotas in the first half of 2013, he was acquired by Shonan Bellmare[4]
