Playing career

SK Brann

edit

Together with his friend and compatriot Diego, he was brought to Norwegian club SK Brann in the summer of 2010 after previously having been on trial with the club. He made his debut for the first team of 30 August 2010. Despite failing to make an impact in his first year for Brann, manager Rune Skarsfjord said he wanted to extend Juninho's loan for another six months.[1] On 26 January 2011, Brann did sign Juninho on a six-month loan with an option to purchase the player after the time.[2]

FK Fyllingsdalen

edit

The loan spell ended in 2011. In 2012, he joined another club from Bergen in Norway, FK Fyllingsdalen. He became the only professional full-time footballer in the third-tier club.[3] He made his debut as a substitute on 12 May 2012.[4] In 2013, he joined Araxá Esporte Clube.[citation needed]
