Denílson Martins Nascimento (born 4 September 1976), simply known as Denílson, is a Brazilian former professional footballer.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Denílson moved abroad at the age of 20. He was, however, limited to reserve team football with both Feyenoord and Paris Saint-Germain, and signed with Portuguese club União Lamas in January 1998.

After six years in the United Arab Emirates, mainly at the service of Al Shabab, and a brief stint in the Liga MX with Club Atlas, Denílson joined South Korea's Daejon Citizen initially on a three-month contract, returning later for one 1/2 years.[1] He helped fellow K-League team Pohang Steelers finish third at the 2009 FIFA Club World Cup, scoring four goals in three games.[2]

On 29 December 2009 Denílson signed for Bunyodkor in Uzbekistan,[3] partnering Rivaldo at that and his following club, Mogi Mirim.[4] He continued playing well into his 30s, making his debut in the Série B at the age of 35 with Guarani.[5]
