Anderson Silva de França or simply Anderson de Silva or Anderson (born 28 August 1982) is a Brazilian footballer who is currently playing for Rentistas in the Uruguayan Primera División.

Career

His loan term at Everton was extended into the 2006–07 season, during which time Málaga were a lower-level Spanish Second Division side – about the equivalent of the Championship in England — in danger of being relegated and Da Silva was not even getting a game for their first team.[1]

Eventually, after 18 months in limbo, he officially joined Everton on 2 January 2007.[2]

He signed for Barnsley on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee on 31 January 2008.[3]

He played in the clubs historic FA Cup win against Liverpool, before rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in the following away game against Norwich City in late February, an injury which ruled him out for seven months.[4]

He was released by Barnsley after the 2009/10 season.[5]
