Rio de Janeiro, Jan 1 (IANS) Brazilian club Figueirense announced the signing of midfielder Franca from Germany’s Hannover.
The 23-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Florianopolis-based club for an undisclosed fee, Figueirense said on Twitter Wednesday, reports Xinhua.
Franca joined Hannover in 2013 but failed to impress the Bundesliga club and was immediately loaned to Palmeiras.
He left the Sao Paulo club in January due to disciplinary problems before being given a chance by Figueirense.
With his loan agreement having expired in December and his contract with Hannover at an end, Figueirense agreed to buy the player’s economic rights.
