Arthur Henrique Bernhardt, simply Arthuro (born 27 August 1982 in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre forward. He also has an Italian passport.
After a brief youth spell in Germany with Hamburger SV, Arthuro returned to his country to start his professional career, with lowly Criciúma Esporte Clube. The following year, aged just 18, he moved abroad again, spending three years without any first-team appearances for Middlesbrough.
Next stop was Spain, and Arthuro also struggled initially; he only appeared seven times with Racing de Santander's reserves, in the third division, but fared better in the following years, successively with Sporting de Gijón, Deportivo Alavés and Córdoba CF - he also appeared in six scoreless matches with the Basque in 2005–06's La Liga, with relegation.
Released by Alavés in June 2008, Arthuro then played in Romania with FC Steaua Bucureşti, until January of the following year,[1] when he transferred to Russian outfit FC Terek Grozny. Again in quick succession, he moved clubs again, signing in May with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.
Arthuro represented his fourth club in one year when he signed with Celta de Vigo, another side from the Spanish second division. However, in early January 2010, both parties agreed to rescind his contract, after poor performances overall (he failed to score a single official goal) and failure to adjust to the city.[2] He immediately found a new club, joining Al Dhafra S.C.C. in the United Arab Emirates.
Late in 2010, Arthuro moved to Portugal and joined União de Leiria. Shortly after, however, without having made any appearances for the club, he returned to his country and signed for Avaí Futebol Clube, leaving the club after also failing to appear officially.
