Igor de Souza


Igor de Souza Fonseca, known simply as Igor, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Spanish club CD La Virgen del Camino as a forward.

Club career

Born in Maceió, Alagoas, Igor made his professional debuts in Portugal, with lowly F.C. Maia of the second division. Subsequently, he played two full seasons in the Primeira Liga, with S.C. Braga and Vitória de Setúbal, contributing with four league goals at the former as it finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
Merely a few weeks into the 2005–06 Portuguese League campaign, Braga relocated Igor's loan from fellow league team C.F. Estrela da Amadora to Spain's Pontevedra CF, a side in the third level. The Galicians, in turn, after the move was made permanent in summer 2007, loaned the player several times during his contract, and he managed 26 matches and six goals in division two with Girona FC and Levante UD combined, before returning to Pontevedra in January 2010.
Igor suffered two relegations in 2010–11, one with Pontevedra and the other with CD Tenerife, joining the latter – in the second tier – in January 2011, on loan. In July 2011 he moved to another team in the country, UD Salamanca, moving to the Superleague Greece with Panthrakikos F.C. in the summer of 2013 after the club folded.

Personal life

Igor's younger brother, Yuri, was also a footballer and a forward. They shared teams at Maia and Pontevedra.
His cousin, Charles, also played several seasons in Spain, and also represented Pontevedra.
