Naxxar Lions have completed the signing of 26-year-old Brazilian winger João Victor Souza dos Santos, commonly known as Vitinho. The former Danish second-tier champion joins the Maltese club on a free transfer from Desportiva-ES in Brazil.
Vitinho, who plays mainly on the right wing but can also operate as a second striker or left winger, has signed a contract with Naxxar until June 2026. Standing at 1.77 metres, the São Paulo native has previously played in Brazil, Greece, Denmark, and Finland, including a spell at HIFK and Vejle BK.
His most recent clubs include Rio Branco-ES, Real Noroeste, and Primavera. Vitinho has spent most of his career moving between clubs in South America and Europe.
He becomes Naxxar’s latest signing ahead of the new Maltese Premier League season, with the team set to kick off their campaign on 17 August against Floriana.
