Leandro da Silva (born 11 January 1989) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club Nea Salamis Famagusta FC as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Rio Branco do Sul, Paraná, Silva started his professional career with Coritiba Foot Ball Club, appearing in the 2009 edition of the Brazilian Cup against Centro Sportivo Alagoano[1] and Associação Atlética Ponte Preta.[2]
In that summer he was bought by Portugal's S.L. Benfica,[3] being immediately loaned to another club in the country, Guimarães-based Vitória Sport Clube and being rarely used during the top division season.
On 25 March 2011 Silva returned to Brazil, signing a long-term contract with Paraná Clube. After failing to appear officially, however, he moved teams and countries again, joining Cypriot First Division side Doxa Katokopias FC.

Silva was part of the Brazil under-20 squad at the 2009 South American Youth Championship, as the nation emerged victorious.
