Bruno Fressato Cardoso (born 26 September 1984), simply known as Bruno Batata, is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a striker.
Bruno has appeared mostly with Brazilian lower league teams throughout his career, but as Brøndby IF of the Danish Superliga was in need of a talented striker as cover up for injured Martin Bernburg, the club decided to loan him from Corinthians Paranaense in July 2010.[1] Bruno scored his first goal in the Brøndby jersey in a match against OB on 22 August.[2]
He played in Campeonato Brasileiro Série B with Vila Nova Futebol Clube during 2008.[3]
Bruno would later play for different lower league sides in Brazil, most notably Operário where he played from 2018. There, he scored a decisive goal in the Brazilian 2018 Série C finals against Cuiabá which secured the championship for Operário.[4] His contract was terminated on 23 April 2020, which actively made him a free agent.[5]
Bruno Batata announced his retirement in August 2020.[6]
