Damien Duff’s Shelbourne have unveiled the signing of Euclides Cabral on a deal until the end of the season, pending international clearance.
But the 24-year-old may stay at Tolka Park for another year if the Reds opt to extend his stay at the club at the end of his initial deal.
Cabral counts Grasshoppers, St. Gallen and Apollon Limassol among his former clubs.
He has also come through the Sporting Lisbon academy.
“We are delighted that Euclides has joined us for the final push,” boss Damien Duff said. “He has played at a high level around Europe and will bring a different dynamic to the squad.
“He is quick, technical and likes to attack. He has settled in quickly and we all look forward to seeing him in a Shelbourne jersey.”
And Cabral added: “I am absolutely thrilled to join Shelbourne.
“I am excited to play with my new teammates and embark on this exciting project here in Ireland.
“I can’t wait to step onto the pitch and give my all for this fantastic club.
“This is a new chapter in my career, a new country, a new challenge and I couldn’t be happier to wear the Shelbourne jersey.”
