Commonly known as Pecka with the Strikers, the Flamengo academy product has spent the last four seasons in the NASL with Fort Lauderdale. He played under RSL assistant coach Daryl Shore when Shore was the then-head coach of the Strikers. His versatility in the midfield could provide a boost with the recent departures of Ned Grabavoy and Sebastian Velasquez. Pecka's role with the Strikers has been predominately as a defensive midfielder. In 2014, he had two goals in 17 league appearances in 1,528 minutes played. After re-upping with Fort Lauderdale in 2014, he went on a quick subsequent loan in Brazil with Madureira Esparto Clube.
