Henrique returns: It's a dream come true

Brisbane Roar Football Club are pleased to announce that fan favourite Henrique Andrade Silva has returned to the Club.

The three-time Championship winner will be available for selection for Saturday’s Hyundai A-League clash at Suncorp Stadium against Newcastle Jets and says it is a dream come true to return to the Club.

“I’ve been dreaming about this moment for a long time. I always wanted to return to the Brisbane Roar and I’m so happy that this day has come,” Henrique said.

“The fans have a special place in my heart and I know I have a special place in their hearts.

“I can’t wait to play in front of our supporters, and I promise I will do my very best to reward the fans and the Club.

“I would like to thank John Aloisi, the coaching staff and everyone involved in making this happen and giving me this opportunity.”



Henrique netted 34 goals in eight Hyundai A-League seasons at Brisbane, including in two grand finals in 2011 and 2014.

Head Coach John Aloisi says it’s terrific to have a player of Henrique’s calibre back in Roar Orange.

“On behalf of BRFC, I would like to say how delighted we are to have such a quality footballer return to our side,” Head Coach John Aloisi said.

“Henrique is a winner who is adored by our supporters and the local football community in Brisbane.

“Having seen him in action at training this week and speaking to Riki personally, I know how hungry he is to help us be successful this season and we are rapt to have him back.

“He's played a significant role in our Club's successful past and I'm sure he can't wait to get back out onto Suncorp Stadium this weekend.”

Henrique will play in number 33, the number which was handed to him when he first signed for Brisbane Roar almost 10 years ago. Get your tickets to Saturday's home match HERE!
