Rodrigo Oliveira da Silva Alvim (born 23 November 1983) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a left-back.
Club career
Born in Porto Alegre, Alvim made his professional debut in 2003 with Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul. He went on to represent Grêmio FBPA and Paraná Clube in his country and, in June 2006, he moved to Portuguese club C.F. Os Belenenses.[1]
After two impressive Primeira Liga seasons with the Lisbon team, coached by Jorge Jesus,[2] Alvim signed a three-year deal with VfL Wolfsburg in late July 2008. He was crowned Bundesliga champion in his first season, but contributed only 24 minutes to that feat.[3][4]
On 25 January 2010, Alvim's contract with Wolfsburg was terminated and, the following day, he returned to Brazil and joined defending Série A champions CR Flamengo.[5]
