Léo Ceará

Born in Fortaleza, Ceará, Léo Ceará joined Vitória's youth setup in 2011, from São Francisco-BA. He made his first team debut on 23 January 2014, coming on as a late substitute for Alan Pinheiro in a 3–1 away win against Confiança, for the year's Copa do Nordeste. On 12 January 2016, after being rarely used, Léo Ceará was loaned to J3 League club FC Ryukyu for the season. Upon returning, he joined Campinense also in a temporary deal in February 2017, but moved to Confiança in May to play in the Série C. Léo Ceará's loan with Confiança was renewed for a further year on 27 December 2017, and he subsequently scored 16 goals in all competitions for the club before being recalled by Vitória in August 2018. Léo Ceará made his Série A debut on 23 August 2018, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Flamengo. He scored his first goal in the category three days later, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over Atlético Mineiro, and subsequently renewed his contract until 2020 on the 28th. On 15 May 2019, after the arrival of Neto Baiano, Léo Ceará was loaned to fellow Série B side CRB until December. He returned to Vitória in January 2020 after scoring 14 league goals for CRB, being the club's top goalscorer and the third-best overall, but was demoted to the under-23 squad after failing to agree new terms over a new contract. Léo Ceará was only included back at Vitória's main squad in August 2020. Yokohama F. Marinos announced on 23 January 2021 that Léo Ceará will be joining the club…
