Clayton Ferreira Cruz (born 19 July 1975), simply known as Clayton, is a Brazilian retired footballer. A forward or winger, he operated preferably on the left. His 16-year professional career was spent, other than in his country, in Portugal – five teams represented, mainly Porto with which he won five major titles, including one league and one UEFA Cup – and Cyprus (three clubs). ==Football career== Clayton was born in São João do Paraíso, Minas Gerais. After a solid career in native Brazil, mainly with Clube Atlético Mineiro, he moved to Portugal in 1999, joining Azores' C.D. Santa Clara; in January 2000 he signed for league club F.C. Porto, and went on to become an important offensive element. On 17 October 2001, in the season's UEFA Champions League, Clayton scored a brace against Celtic, in a 3–0 home triumph.〔(Porto leapfrog Celtic ), UEFA.com, 17 October 2001〕 He was also a part of the side's UEFA Cup-winning team in 2002–03, although he did not play in the final against the same opponent. For 2003–04 Clayton moved to Sporting Clube de Portugal〔(Surprise swap between rivals ); UEFA.com, 14 July 2003〕 and, after appearing scarcely throughout the campaign, was loaned to lowly F.C. Penafiel and joined Vitoria de Guimarães in the following two years. After another Brazil spell with Sport Club do Recife, and another season at Penafiel (now in the Portuguese second level), Clayton moved to Cyprus. Starting 2007–08 with Alki Larnaca FC, he joined AC Omonia in the following January transfer window. In January 2009 Clayton moved teams in the same country, signing with AEL Limassol. Aged 35 he returned to Brazil, playing the reminder of his career in amateur football. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clayton Ferreira Cruz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
