Summary
I am a Brazilian central midfielder currently playing collegiate soccer at Defiance College in the United States, where I serve as team captain. I played 17 matches in the most recent season, recording 3 goals and 4 assists while contributing as a consistent starter in midfield.
I consider myself a box-to-box midfielder with strong tactical awareness, work rate, and leadership qualities. My experience in the U.S. college system has helped me develop physically and mentally in a competitive environment, while also improving my ability to adapt to different styles of play.
I am now seeking a professional opportunity where I can continue to develop, contribute to a team’s success, and compete at a higher level. I am open to trials and willing to relocate.
