Fabiano Josué de Souza Silva (born 14 March 2000), known as Fabiano Souza or just Fabiano, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Moreirense.
Born in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Fabiano played for the youth sides of Penapolense, and made his senior debut with the club in the 2017 Copa Paulista. In 2018, after a short period back to the under-20 side of Linense, he moved abroad with Portuguese side Braga.
Fabiano was promoted to the reserves in the Campeonato de Portugal ahead of the 2019âÂÂ20 season, and scored his first goal for the side on 2 February 2020, netting the opener in a 2âÂÂ1 away defeat to Fafe. He made his first team debut on 4 July, coming on as a half-time substitute for Diogo Viana in a 4âÂÂ0 home routing of Desportivo Aves.
On 2 October 2020, Fabiano was loaned to Liga Portugal 2 side Académica de Coimbra. He scored his first professional goal late in the month, netting his side's third in a 3âÂÂ0 home win over Oliveirense, and finished the season as a starter.
Upon returning, Fabiano became a regular option for the Minhotas, sharing the starting spot with Yan Couto. After Couto left, he was initially backup to new signing VÃÂctor Gómez, but featured regularly after Gómez was sidelined due to an injury.
On 1 February 2023, Fabiano moved to Turkey after agreeing to a six-month loan deal with Kasñmpaà Âa, with a buyout clause. He featured in nine matches for the side, helping them to avoid relegation.
On 9 August 2023, recently-promoted to Primeira Liga side Moreirense announced the signing of Fabiano on a three-year contract, having paid a reported ⬠700,000 fee for 50% of the player's economic rights.
