Corinthians sign former Napoli defender Henrique

Xinhua,January 27, 2018 Adjust font size:

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Former Brazil international defender Henrique has joined reigning Brazilian Serie A champions Corinthians on a two-year deal.

The announcement came almost a month after the 31-year-old parted ways with Rio de Janeiro outfit Fluminense.

"I'm really happy and honored to be able to wear this shirt. I hope we can be really happy together," Henrique said.

A center-back who has made seven appearances for Brazil's national team, Henrique spent two seasons with Fluminense after his 2015 move from Italy's Napoli.

The Brazilian Serie A season begins on April 15 while the group stage of the Copa Libertadores - South America's top club competition - starts on February 27. Enditem
