DVSC signed Maurides Roque Junior on loan. He arrived in Debrecen from the German Bundesliga team, FC St. Pauli. The 30-year-old Brazilian striker has only played in one match in the German top division this season, however, he is a highly skilled and goal-scoring forward.

Maurides started his professional career at the Brazilian Internacional, before moving to Portugal, where he played for Arouca, Figueirense and Belenenses. In the Portugese league, he played in 77 matches, scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists. Following this, he was signed by the Bulgarian CSKA Sofia. In Bulgaria, he delivered an impressive performance, scoring 9 goals in 21 matches under the management of our current head coach Nestor El Maestro at that time. In 2019, the Chinese club Changchun Yatai paid over 2 million euros for him. After a stint at the South Korean Anyang, he returned to Europe. In the colours of the Polish first-division Radomiak, he scored 9 goals in 47 matches in the Ekstralasa.

In 2023, the 189 cm tall forward was signed by the German St. Pauli, which was competing in the second-division at that time. However, injuries held him back, which prevented him of playing a role in the team’s championship winning campaign and promotion to the first league. Since then, the physically impressive Maurides has gained back his strength and even if only for one match, managed to make his debut in Bundesliga 1. Now, he is ready to help Loki with his goals.
