David Braz de Oliveira Filho, commonly known as David Braz (born May 21, 1987), is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Santos as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Guarulhos, São Paulo, David Braz graduated with Palmeiras' youth setup. He made his professional debut on 10 February 2007, in a 1–1 home draw against Bragantino for the Campeonato Paulista championship.
David Braz appeared more regularly in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, after the arrival of new manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo. However, after struggling with injuries, he lost his starting spot.
On 19 January 2009 David Braz signed a four-and-a-half year deal with Greek giants Panathinaikos in a free transfer. However, after appearing sparingly he returned to Brazil in January of the following year.
On 21 July 2009 David Braz signed a one-year loan deal with Flamengo.[1] He made his debut on 9 August, starting in a 1–0 home win over Corinthians. In July 2010 Flamengo acquired 60% of his rights, with the player signing a new four-year deal.
On 18 May 2012 David Braz moved to Santos, along with Flamengo teammate Rafael Galhardo, in an exchange for Ibson.[2] He acted mainly as a backup to Edu Dracena and Durval during his first year, appearing in only seven matches.
In January 2013, after being deemed suplus to requirements by manager Muricy Ramalho, David Braz was loaned to Vitória.[3] However, in August he was left out of the first-team squad, later accusing the club of not paying his wages.[4] He eventually returned to Santos in December.
Shortly after his return to Peixe, new manager Oswaldo de Oliveira granted his place in the first-team.[5] Profitting from Dracena and Gustavo Henrique's injuries, he was later first-choice in the end of the 2014 Campeonato Paulista, and remained a starter in Série A.
On 6 September 2014 David Braz scored his first goals for Santos, netting a brace in a 3–1 home win against his former side Vitória.[6]
International career
David Braz was capped at Under-18[7] and Under-20[8] levels for Brazil.
