Da Cruz leaves Fortuna Sittard and chooses adventure in Brazil

Alessio Da Cruz has left Fortuna Sittard. The 28-year-old attacker has chosen to pursue a career at Athletic Club, in the second division in Brazil.

Da Cruz still had one year left on his contract with Fortuna. Itโ€™s unknown how much Athletic Club is paying to pry the attacker from Sittard. Da Cruz joined Danny Buijsโ€™s club a year and a half ago. In Limburg, the three-capped Cape Verde international played 36 official matches, scoring seven goals and providing two assists.

Athletic Club are by no means Da Cruzโ€™s first international adventure. The Almere-born striker has previously played for Novara Calcio, Parma, La Spezia, Ascoli, Sheffield Wednesday, Santos Laguna, LR Vicenza, KV Mechelen, and Feralpisalo in a lengthy CV. He also played for FC Groningen in the Netherlands between 2020 and 2021.
