Cazarine is a modern-day journeyman having played short stints for clubs in Brazil, Qatar, Portugal, Italy, Spain, China, South Korea and Australia.

Sydney FC

On 27 August 2010, Cazarine signed a 12-month deal with 2009–10 Australian A-League champions Sydney FC[1] after a successful trial.[2] He made his debut for Sydney in their Round 5, 3–1 loss to Adelaide United at the Sydney Football Stadium[3]

Cazarine's first goal for Sydney FC was in a 2–1 away loss to Wellington Phoenix.[4] After finishing the 2010/11 season as Sydney FC's highest goalscorer with 9 goals, Cazarine signed a 1-year extension allowing him to play in the Asian Champions League and into the 2011–12 season.[5]

Cazarine played an important role along with Nick Carle in helping to keep Sydney FC's Champions League campaign hopes alive after scoring a brace in Sydney's 3–2 win against Shanghai Shenhua in Shanghai,[6] followed by Sydney's only goal a week later in their 3–1 loss to Suwon Bluewings.

Cazarine made his milestone 50th and final appearance for the club in their 3–2 semi-final defeat at the hands of Wellington Phoenix.[7] He left the club at the end of the 2011–12 season citing a mixture of uncertainty regarding his future at the club, as well as family reasons back in Brazil.[8]
