Henrique De Andrade Silva (born May 9, 1985) is a Brazilian footballer currently playing for Hyundai A-League club Brisbane Roar.

Biography

Henrique played his youth football in Brazil with América Mineiro and in 2003 joined Dutch giants Feyenoord. After failing to break into the first team, Henrique returned to Brasil where he played senior football with América and was loaned out to several other Brazilian clubs. Henrique is nicknamed the Slippery Fish.

Brisbane Roar

Henrique joined Brisbane Roar initially as a temporary injury replacement for fellow Brazilian Reinaldo in February 2009, after impressing coach Frank Farina in a week long trial after being given permission to talk with the Australian club by América.[1]

He made his first appearance as a second-half substitute in the Roar's second-leg 2–1 win over Central Coast Mariners in the 2009 A-League semi-finals.[2] There was minor controversy due to the transfer being completed only four hours before his debut appearance.[3] Henrique signed a one-year contract with the Roar on March 4, 2009, after impressing during his loan spell.[4]

On September 17, 2009 he signed a new three-year deal with the Roar.[5] Henrique missed up to two months of the 2010–11 season because of a broken arm, which he injured in a match against Melbourne Victory, courtesy of Kevin Muscat.[6] Henrique came back as a wild card for the Roar and in the 2010-11 grand final against Central Coast Mariners, scored a goal in extra-time and the winning penalty.[7]
