The 32-year-old is from the picturesque city of Uberaba in the Brazilian Highlands and spent much of his initial footballing career playing in the lower divisions of Brazilian football, before impressing in his debut for Oeste FC, a club based in Sao Paulo. He eventually sealed a move to FC Juarez in 2016 and grew into a versatile and dependable player for the Mexican club.

“Elsinho is a centre back and defensive midfield player who has both height and technical ability,” said Jamshedpur FC Head Coach, Scott Cooper.

“He’s very fast for a big guy and has played in Mexico and at various levels in Brazil. We like him because of his pace, technical ability and also because he is a major threat from set pieces, so we feel like he will be a great commodity and bring height to the team.”

The club can also confirm that Elsinho will wear the number 91 shirt in the upcoming campaign.
