Josiel Alves de Oliveira or simply Jô (born 19 September 1988) is a Brazilian fotball winger who plays for NK Istra 1961 in the Prva HNL.

Career

Playing football mostly in his native state of Acre, Josiel came to prominence during the 2011 Campeonato Acriano, playing for Atlético Clube Juventus, when he was voted the best player of the season, while also sharing the top scorer title alongside Nilton Goiano with 11 goals.[1]

He made his move to Europe during the summer of 2011, signing a three-year contract for the Portuguese side U.D. Leiria.[2] However, he had a falling-out with the club, and his contract was rescinded.[3] After a spell in Brazil, playing at Atlético Clube Juventus again, he returned to Portugal, signing a contract with Moreirense F.C..[4] He featured only 12 minutes in the first part of the season, and the contract was terminated with mutual consent,[5] prompting another return to Brazil, where he signed for Caldense. His stay there was short and he moved on to São José Esporte Clube in February 2013.[6]

Jô returned to Europe once more during the summer break, signing for the Croatian Prva HNL side NK Istra 1961. He scored his first goal for the club on 24 August 2013 in a home 1-0 win against HNK Hajduk Split.
