[edit] Club career[edit] CorinthiansBorn in São Paulo, Jô played for Brazilian side Corinthians during the years of 2003–2005. He made 54 appearances scoring 23 goals. In 2005 he was transferred to Russian club CSKA Moscow.
[edit] CSKA MoscowJô scored 14 goals in his first 18 appearances for CSKA Moscow. In the UEFA Champions League, Jô scored two goals in the matches against Inter Milan, one being in a dramatic 4–2 loss at the San Siro. Altogether Jô appeared in 77 games for CSKA Moscow, scoring 44 goals.
[edit] Manchester CityOn July 3, 2008, Manchester City signed Jô for an undisclosed amount thought to be in the region of £6 million with possible bonuses increasing it to £18m.[1] He scored one league goal in 9 games against Portsmouth[2] and also scored a brace in the UEFA Cup against Amonia Nicosia.[3] Jô found it difficult to establish himself in the City team and featured in just 6 games at the start of the 2008–09 season.
[edit] EvertonJô joined Everton on loan in February 2009, until the end of the 2008–09 season.[4] He made his debut at Goodison Park against Bolton Wanderers, scoring twice in a 3–0 win.[5] He finished the season with five goals from twelve league appearances, though missed out on Everton’s run to the 2009 FA Cup Final as he was cup-tied after playing the last 20 minutes of Manchester City's third round defeat to Nottingham Forest.[6]
He returned to Manchester City at the end of the season,[7][8] but re-joined Everton on a season-long loan for 2009–10,[9] with the option of a permanent move at the end of that period.[10][11] His first competitive goal in the loan spell was scored against AEK Athens in a Europa League group game, which Everton went on to win 4–0.[12][13][14] After returning to Brazil without permission over the Christmas period, Everton manager David Moyes suspended him for a breach of conduct.[15]
[edit] GalatasarayAfter the breach of conduct at Everton, he returned to Manchester City and was loaned to Galatasaray on the very same day.[16] He scored three goals during his loan spell at Galatasaray.
[edit] Return to Manchester CityHe returned to Manchester City after his loan spell at Galatasaray expired. Jô scored in his first game back against Portland Timbers and was also successful in further pre-season friendlies against New York Red Bulls, Borussia Dortmund and Valencia CF respectively. He then went on to score in the Europa League win against Salzburg[17] and in the Carling Cup loss to West Bromwich Albion,[18] his fourth and fifth goals for the club.
On 21 November 2010 Jo made a rare start for Manchester City, putting in a very impressive performance in an unfamiliar left wing position, playing a part in his teams 4-1 demolition of Mark Hughes' Fulham. Jô also featured in Manchester City's 3-1 win away to West Ham before Christmas and scored City's only goal in a 1-1 draw with Juventus in the UEFA Europa League.
