Igor Rossi Branco, simply known as Igor Rossi (born 10 March 1989) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Primeira Liga club Farense.[2]
Igor Rossi began his career in Internacional. In 2010, he moved to Marítimo, and started to play in the Marítimo's B team. At the end of the 2010–11 season, Rossi was promoted to the first team.[3]
After being included as an unused substitute in the opening game of the season against Beira-Mar,[4] Rossi made his debut for the senior team in the Primeira Liga on 11 December 2011, in a 1–0 against Benfica.[5] Rossi later made five appearances in the 2011–12 season.
In the 2012–13 season, Igor was included in the 25 man squad.[6] Igor then scored his first goal in a game against Benfica.[7] In his final season before being released, he played only four matches - two as a starter - and ten for the reserves in Segunda Liga.[8]
On 22 July 2015, he signed a one-year deal at Heart of Midlothian, newly returned to the Scottish Premiership.[9] He made his debut eight days later in the first round of the season's Scottish League Cup at home against Arbroath, replacing double goalscorer Osman Sow for the final 13 minutes of a 4–2 victory.[10] On 2 August he played the full 90 minutes of his first league game, a 4–3 win against St Johnstone.[11]
Rossi moved to Saudi club Al-Faisaly Harmah in January 2017.[12]
On 20 July 2022, Rossi joined Emirati side Al-Ittihad Kalba on a free transfer.[13]
On 22 August 2023, Rossi returned to Portugal, joining recently-promoted to Primeira Liga side Farense on a one-year contract.[14]
