Washington Brandão dos Santos (born 18 August 1990) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Malaysia Super League club Kelantan Darul Naim.[2]
On 30 June 2014, Brandão signed a two-year contract with Danish 1st Division club HB Køge after a successful trial.[3] He made his debut on 25 July, scoring after only six minutes in a 1–1 draw against Skive IK.[4] During his stint with the club, he made 51 appearances in which he scored 20 goals.
Brandão moved to Vendsyssel FF on 22 January 2016, signing a three-year deal.[5] He made his debut on 17 March, coming on as a substitute for Mads Greve in the 73rd minute of a 2–0 league loss to Lyngby Boldklub.[6] On 28 April, Brandão scored his first goal for the club, which also proved to be the winner, in a 1–0 win over Silkeborg IF.[7]
At the end of the 2017–18 season, Brandão helped the team win promotion to the Danish Superliga for the first time.[8]
In February 2019, Brandão joined Persela Lamongan in Indonesia.[9] He played two games for the club in the Piala Indonesia and four games in the Indonesia President's Cup where he also scored three goals. However, the club was not satisfied with the player. The club decided not to use him for the 2019 Liga 1 season. The club announced in April 2019, that his quality was good but they needed a pure striker and that the coaching staff had recommended him not to continue.[10]
Following his departure from Indonesia, Brandão joined Malaysian club Petaling Jaya City.
In 2021, Brandão moved to V.League 1 club Hoang Anh Gia Lai. He had a strong start to the campaign, contributing with two goals in his first eight appearances, and "integrated well" to a team consisting of mostly homegrown Vietnamese players.[11]
In October 2023, Brandão signed for Bangladesh Premier League club Abahani Limited Dhaka.[12]
