Adriano Fabiano Rossato (born 27 August 1977 in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Comercial Futebol Clube. A left defender who is a deadball specialist, he also holds Italian nationality.
During his Brazilian career, Rossato, a free kick specialist, represented Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, Criciúma Esporte Clube, Associação Atlética Portuguesa (RJ), União Agrícola Barbarense Futebol Clube and Marília Atlético Clube, moving to Portugal in July 2002, with Madeira's C.D. Nacional. During two seasons, he scored an astonishing 17 top division goals, including a hat-trick against S.C. Beira-Mar on 25 April 2004 (3–0 home win).
Bought by league giants F.C. Porto in July 2004, Rossato never played an official game for the northerners, joining La Liga side Real Sociedad,[1] and scoring (from a free kick) in only his second season appearance, a 1–2 loss at Sevilla FC, finishing with 22 games.
For 2005–06, Rossato was loaned back to Portugal, joining Sporting Clube de Braga on a one-year link.[2] Having returned to Sociedad for the following season, he returned, again on loan, to the Iberian neighbours, joining União Desportiva de Leiria in January 2007.
Released in the 2007 summer, Rossato joined second division team Málaga CF, being instrumental in the Andalusia side's 2008 top flight return, after a two-year absence. He would miss, however, the vast majority of the following campaign, due to injury;[3] his first game took place only on 17 May 2009, as he played the second half of a 1–2 away loss against Sporting de Gijón (12 minutes played).[4]
Because of his injuries, Málaga announced in July 2009 it would not renew Rossato's contract, so the player was released. Late in the following month, the 32-year old signed with another side in the country, second level's UD Salamanca.
