Edney Henrique Santos da Silva (born 26 July 2004) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Liga Portugal 2 club Portimonense, on loan from Santa Clara.
Career
[edit | edit source]He was born in Bahia, and plays at full-back, although at the start of his youth career he had initially played as a striker.[2][3] He was a youth player at Confiança and São Caetano prior to featuring for Palmeiras U20.[4] He initially played for Palmeiras U20 on a loan agreement before his permanent transfer to Palmeiras was authorised by a Brazilian court in order to help São Caetano pay off their creditors. He helped Palmeiras to win the Copinha in 2023, as well as the U-20 Brasileirão (2022) and the U-20 Copa do Brasil (2022).[3][5][2] For Palmeiras from 2022 until 2025, he appeared in 101 matches at youth level in total, scoring six goals.[6]
He joined C.D. Santa Clara of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on the final day of the winter transfer window in January 2025, agreeing a two and-a-half year contract into 2027.[6] He made his debut for the Santa Clara first team on 10 May 2025 at the age of 20 years-old, when he replaced Diogo Calila in the 30th minute of their penultimate league match of the 2024-25 season against F.C. Famalicão in a 2-1 home win.[7][8]
On 9 September 2025, Edney was sent on a season-long loan to Liga Portugal 2 club Portimonense.[9]
