Carlos Henrique dos Santos Costa (born 18 February 1992), commonly known as Lula, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Atlético Paranaense as a centre back.

Club career

Born in Gurupi, Tocantins, Lula graduated with América Mineiro's youth setup. He made his professional debut on 18 May 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gilberto in a 2–1 away win against Ceará for the Série B championship.[1]

Lula scored his first goal on 24 November, netting the last in a 3–1 home win against Ipatinga.[2] In 2014, however, after failing to appear regularly for Coelho, he moved to fellow league team Boa Esporte.

On 14 January 2015 Lula moved to Série A club Atlético Paranaense, after agreeing to a one-year deal.[3]
