The Brazilian defender played a season for Mohun Bagan, but he was not retained. Neighbours East Bengal roped in Eduardo for the next season. Although he had a decent stay at the Kolkata based club, he was overlooked the season after. NEROCA FC roped in the stopper from East Bengal along with veteran Katsumi Yusa.

Little would they have known that the Brazilian would have such a big impact for the North-Eastern club. Eduardo has played a pivotal role at the heart of the defence along with Varney Kallon. They have managed to keep 4 clean sheets so far. Apart from his defensive duties, the Brazilian scores vital goals for his team quite often.

Eduardo scored the opening goal in their 2-1 victory over Mohun Bagan in their last fixture. Having made a slow start to the season, the runners-up from the last season have now won four out of their last five matches, they are now placed at the third position in the league table.
