Fernando Henrique Boldrin (born 23 February 1989) is a former Brazilian professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
Boldrin played as a junior for Slovan Liberec in the Czech Republic, but spent the first part of his senior career in the lower leagues of native Brazil.
In 2014, aged 25, Boldrin was brought to Romanian club Concordia Chiajna by coach Marius ÃÂumudicÃÂ. He ended the Liga I season with 32 matches and 6 goals, earning interest from better ranked clubs after scoring a double against defending champions Steaua BucureÃÂti in May 2015. "The Eagles" finished on the 12th place, narrowly avoiding relegation.
During the 2015 summer transfer window, Boldrin signed a contract with FC Astra Giurgiu, rejoining his former Concordia coach Marius ÃÂumudicÃÂ. On 26 July, he scored his first goal in a 2âÂÂ1 victory against fellow Liga I team Universitatea Craiova. The following week Boldrin netted a goal in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round's first leg against West Ham United, helping his team obtain a 2âÂÂ2 away draw at Boleyn Ground. Astra eventually qualified further, and he scored again against AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of the play-off round.
Boldrin, who ended the campaign with 42 matches and seven goals all competitions comprised, helped Astra achieve its first league championship title in their history. He was also a starter in the 2016 Romanian Supercup 1âÂÂ0 win over CFR Cluj.
On 12 August 2016, FC Steaua BucureÃÂti announced the transfer of Boldrin for an undisclosed fee, with the player penning a four-year contract with the club.
Fernando joined Kayserispor in 2017. He played 23 matches in his debut season in the Turkish Süper Lig, with Kayserispor avoiding relegation.
After one season with Kayserispor, Boldrin joined ÃÂaykur Rizespor, also in the Turkish Super Lig, on a season-long loan deal.
On 7 August 2019, he joined ÃÂaykur Rizespor on a permanent three-year deal.
Regarded as a good free kick taker with great technical ability, Boldrin operates primarily as a central midfielder, and he is capable of aiding his team both in attack and defence.
