Eduardo Nascimento da Silva Júnior (born 5 March 1993), commonly known as Edu, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Goiás.

Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Edu made his senior debut with São Gonçalo Esporte Clube [pt] in 2012. He then signed for Flamengo in the following year, but only featured for the under-20s before moving to São Gonçalo Futebol Clube [pt].[1]

On 7 October 2014, after being São Gonçalo's top goalscorer in the year's Campeonato Carioca Série C, Edu signed for Boavista.[2] He returned to SGFC after playing rarely in the 2015 Campeonato Carioca, and scored a further seven times for the club before joining Itaboraí on 10 July 2015.[3]

On 21 September 2017, after scoring prolifically for Itaboraí, Edu agreed to a pre-contract deal with Brusque for the Copa Santa Catarina.[4] The following 28 March, after featuring sparingly, he returned to his previous club.[5]

On 18 October 2018, Edu signed for Nova Iguaçu,[6] but moved out on loan to Atlético Tubarão on 22 February of the following year.[7] On 29 December 2019, he returned to Brusque after signing a deal until April 2021.[8]

In August 2020, after becoming an undisputed starter, Edu suffered a knee injury,[9] and was sidelined for the remainder of the campaign, which ended in promotion to the Série B. On 17 April 2021, he renewed his contract until November 2022.[10]

On 15 October 2021, during a match against Remo, Edu missed a penalty, scored one goal and subsequently played as a goalkeeper after Ruan Carneiro was taken off due to an injury; he also saved a penalty late in the match.[11] He finished the league as top scorer with 17 goals, as his side narrowly avoided relegation.

On 9 December 2021, Edu joined fellow second division side Cruzeiro.[12] After being a starter during the season as the club achieved promotion to the Série A, he was loaned to Emirati club Dibba Al Fujairah until June.[13]

On 6 July 2023, Edu returned to his home country after signing a contract with Coritiba in the top tier, until the end of 2024.[14]
