K League 1 club Jeonbuk Hyundai has acquired Brazilian attacking midfielder Dodo (25).

On the 11th, Jeonbuk announced, "Through the signing of Dodo, we have significantly strengthened the destructive power of our attack line. Dodo is an attacking midfielder who actively exploits spaces between opposing defenses based on his fast speed and agile movements, and he is a multi-player capable of playing as both left and right wingers."

Following their acquisition of Italo, a winger from Brazil's top division, on the 31st of last month, Jeonbuk has now added Dodo, further deepening their second-line depth with players including Lee Dong-jun, Kang Sang-yoon, Lee Seung-woo, Kim Seung-seop, and Kim Ye-geon. Dodo's new jersey number is 30.

According to Jeonbuk, Dodo progressed through the youth systems of Santos and Ferroviária in Brazil before gaining experience on the Brazilian stage with Goiás, Vila Nova, Ponte Preta, and Nautico.

In the 2025 season, playing for Vila Nova, he recorded three goals and four assists in 44 matches in Brazil's second division. In the 2026 season, he joined Nautico on loan, accumulating five goals and two assists in 16 league matches.

Jeonbuk pursued Dodo's signing after highly evaluating his potential and growth prospects. He is recognized for his technical play in tight spaces, forward dribbling, and bold shooting ability, as well as his capacity to actively disrupt opposing defensive lines.

Jeonbuk stated, "We expect Dodo to contribute to building Jeonbuk Hyundai's fast-paced attacking style and diverse offensive options, injecting new vitality into the team's attack through seamless integration with existing attacking resources."

Through the club, Dodo expressed, "I know that Jeonbuk Hyundai is an incredible club, and I am very happy and honored to join such a team. As I begin this new challenge, I want to show my abilities to the team and fans as soon as possible. I aim to become a player who helps Jeonbuk Hyundai achieve its goal of winning the championship. I will repay the expectations from the fans with strong performances on the field."
