[edit] Club career
[edit] Sydney FC
He has joined Sydney FC for the 2007-08 A-League Season where he will play alongside fellow Brazilian Juninho Paulista. He has played for Esporte Clube Vitória (Brazil), Altamira (Mexico), Mogi Mirim Esporte Clube (Brazil), Grêmio Barueri (Brazil) and Nacional Atlético Clube (Brazil). Patrick's youth club was São Paulo Futebol Clube (Brazil).
It is believed that after Sydney FC signed Juninho Paulista, Sydney FC were inundated with DVDs from Brazil with interest to signing. In this selection was Patrick da Silva's, which caught the attention of Sydney FC, prompting further research from both Juninho Paulista and Sydney FC scouts.[1][2][3]
Patrick started his Sydney FC career with a substitute appearance against Adelaide United in Round 2 of the A-League. It has been reported that Patrick has struggled to adjust to the pace of the A-League in the following round against Perth Glory.[4]
Patrick scored his first goal against Queensland Roar with his first touch in Round 5 of the A-League.[5]
Patrick scored his second goal against Perth Glory in Round 8 of the A-League.[6]
