Nirley da Silva Fonseca (born 9 April 1988), simply known as Nirley, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre back.
Career
Nirley first played for Americano in Campeonato Carioca.[1] His breakthrough came in 2011 when he moved to Criciúma, and made his national league debut on 15 June 2011 against ASA in a Campeonato Brasileiro Série B match.[2] His debut game saw him pick up an injury, and he spent almost three months on the sidelines.[3]
At the start of 2013, Nirley was loaned to Cruzeiro, but a lack of game-time saw him recalled and sign for Figueirense, initially on loan for the rest of 2013, but eventually on a three-year deal.[4] [5]
Nirley signed with Náutico for the 2017 season.[6] He moved to Brasil de Pelotas in August 2017.
