Bruno Cazarine Constantino, also known as Bruno Cazarine (born 6 May 1983), is a retired Brazilian footballer who played as a striker.
Cazarine is a modern-day journeyman having played short stints for clubs in Brazil, Qatar, Portugal, Italy, Spain, China, South Korea and Australia.
On 27 August 2010, Cazarine signed a 12-month deal with 2009–10 Australian A-League champions Sydney FC[1] after a successful trial.[2] He made his debut for Sydney in their Round 5, 3–1 loss to Adelaide United at the Sydney Football Stadium[3]
Cazarine's first goal for Sydney FC was in a 2–1 away loss to Wellington Phoenix.[4] After finishing the 2010/11 season as Sydney FC's highest goalscorer with 9 goals, Cazarine signed a 1-year extension allowing him to play in the Asian Champions League and into the 2011–12 season.[5]
Cazarine played an important role along with Nick Carle in helping to keep Sydney FC's Champions League campaign hopes alive after scoring a brace in Sydney's 3–2 win against Shanghai Shenhua in Shanghai,[6] followed by Sydney's only goal a week later in their 3–1 loss to Suwon Bluewings.
Cazarine made his milestone 50th and final appearance for the club in their 3–2 semi-final defeat at the hands of Wellington Phoenix.[7] He left the club at the end of the 2011–12 season citing a mixture of uncertainty regarding his future at the club, as well as family reasons back in Brazil.[8]
Cazarine is Sydney FC's second most prolific striker in the club's history, with a goals to game ratio of 0.34 goals/game. This sits him behind Alessandro Del Piero at 0.58 goals/game and in front of previous Sydney FC stars Dwight Yorke on 0.32 and Alex Brosque in third at 0.30. This also included many appearances as a substitute in the 2011–12 season.[9]
