Scottland have strengthened their squad with the signing of Brazilian winger Anderson Cardoso de Campos.

The 29-year-old is part of the travelling squad for Sunday’s Toyota Cup clash against Kaizer Chiefs, having reportedly arrived in Zimbabwe more than a week ago.

Cardoso joins as one of Scottland’s mid-season reinforcements as the club prepares for its maiden CAF Champions League campaign. The club is yet to announce details of his contract.

A well-travelled career

Born on 30 March 1997 in Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Cardoso primarily plays as a right winger.

The Brazilian arrives in Zimbabwe after a nomadic career that has taken him across several continents. He has featured for clubs in Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Costa Rica, Japan and Portugal, with Scottland becoming the latest stop in his journey.

According to his Transfermarkt profile, Cardoso has represented more than 10 clubs since making his senior debut, with much of his career spent in Brazil’s Série D.

Among the notable clubs on his CV are UAE Pro League side Hatta Club and Costa Rican giants Liga Deportiva Alajuelense, one of the country’s most successful clubs.

Most recent club

Before joining Scottland, Cardoso was registered with Brazilian Série D side Pouso Alegre FC.

According to Transfermarkt, he made seven appearances for the club before completing his move to Zimbabwe.
