Bragantino have signed defender António Ferreira on a free transfer from Terek Grozny.

The 30 year-old, who is primarily a centre-back, but can cover at right-back, has agreed a deal until December.

Bragantino have been looking to strengthen, as they aim to have a stronger season in the Brasileirão Série B. Last term, they finished 16th – just three points above the relegation zone. 

The signing of Ferreira will add some experience to a back-line that conceded 55 goals in that campaign.

The Rio de Janeiro native made only two appearances for Terek Grozny in the Russian Premier League this season, but featured 103 times overall across his five year stay at the club.

Ferreira also played extensively with Latvian outfit FK Liepājas Metalurgs and has had spells at Spartak Nalchik, FK Daugava Rīga and Cabofriense.
