Wilson Bruno Naval da Costa Eduardo (born 8 July 1990 in Massarelos, Porto) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for S.C. Olhanense on loan from Sporting Clube de Portugal, as a forward.

He is the older brother of Sporting CP's U19 team captain João Mário Eduardo.

Football career

After starting his football grooming with local giants F.C. Porto, Eduardo finished it at Sporting Clube de Portugal, joining the Lisbon club's youth system at the age of 13. In 2009–10, he made his senior debuts, splitting the season between Real Sport Clube (third division) and Portimonense SC (second), and being a relatively important part as the Algarve side returned to the top flight after a 20-year absence.

In the 2010–11 season, still on loan, Eduardo joined S.C. Beira-Mar, also freshly promoted to division one. On 15 August 2010, he made his competition debut, coming from the bench in a 0–0 home draw against U.D. Leiria; two weeks later, as the Aveiro team defeated Académica de Coimbra 2–1 (also at home), he scored his first goal in the first division.
