Career

edit

Early career

edit

Boldrin played as a junior for Slovan Liberec in the Czech Republic,[1] but spent the first part of his senior career in the lower leagues of native Brazil.

Concordia Chiajna

edit

In 2014, aged 25, Boldrin was brought to Romanian club Concordia Chiajna by coach Marius Șumudică. He ended the Liga I season with 32 matches and 6 goals, earning interest from better ranked clubs after scoring a double against defending champions Steaua București in May 2015.[2][3] "The Eagles" finished on the 12th place, narrowly avoiding relegation.

Astra Giurgiu

edit

During the 2015 summer transfer window, Boldrin signed a contract with FC Astra Giurgiu, rejoining his former Concordia coach Marius Șumudică.[4] On 26 July, he scored his first goal in a 2–1 victory against fellow Liga I team Universitatea Craiova.[5] The following week Boldrin netted a goal in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round's first leg against West Ham United, helping his team obtain a 2–2 away draw at Boleyn Ground.[6] Astra eventually qualified further, and he scored again against AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of the play-off round.[7]

Boldrin, who ended the campaign with 42 matches and seven goals all competitions comprised, helped Astra achieve its first league championship title in their history. He was also a starter in the 2016 Romanian Supercup 1–0 win over CFR Cluj.[8]

FCSB

edit

On 12 August 2016, FC Steaua București announced the transfer of Boldrin for an undisclosed fee, with the player penning a four-year contract with the club.[9]

Kayerispor

edit

Fernando joined Kayserispor in 2017. He played 23 matches in his debut season in the Turkish Süper Lig, with Kayserispor avoiding relegation.

Çaykur Rizespor

edit

After one season with Kayserispor, Boldrin joined Çaykur Rizespor, also in the Turkish Super Lig, on a season-long loan deal.

On 7 August 2019, he joined Çaykur Rizespor on a permanent three-year deal.[10]

Style of play

edit

Regarded as a good free kick taker with great technical ability,[2] Boldrin operates primarily as a central midfielder and is capable of aiding his team both in attack and defence.
