I don't see much notability being granted by his playing 502 minutes of soccer in a lower tier in the US; after signing for a lowly team in the Brazilian Série D (not professional) he did not play at all, according to Soccerway. The Globo Esporte article about his signing looks like a press release, judging from the language and the pictures. Thus, this falls short of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT.
