Leandro da Silva (born 11 January 1989) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a central defender.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Rio Branco do Sul, Paraná, Silva started his professional career with Coritiba. He appeared with the first team in the 2009 edition of the Brazilian Cup, against CSA[1] and Ponte Preta.[2]

In that summer, Silva was bought by S.L. Benfica.[3] He was immediately loaned to another side in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, Guimarães-based Vitória SC, being rarely used during the season.

On 25 March 2011, Silva returned to Brazil and signed a long-term contract with Paraná Clube. After failing to appear officially, however, he moved clubs and countries again, joining Doxa Katokopias F.C. from the Cypriot First Division.

International career

[edit]

Silva was part of the Brazil under-20 squad at the 2009 South American Youth Championship, as the nation emerged victorious.
