Thiago Eduardo de Andrade (born 31 October 2000) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Major League Soccer club Toronto FC.

Early life

[edit]

Born in Araras, Andrade began his youth career at Fluminense.[1] He later joined Portuguese club Portimonense for six months, before returning to Brazil to join Bahia.[2] He was the top scorer in the Brazil U20 Cup in 2020, earning a call-up to the first team the following year.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Andrade made his professional debut for Bahia on 6 January 2021 against Grêmio, starting in a 2–1 defeat.[citation needed] He scored his first goal a couple weeks later on 20 January in a 1–0 victory over Athletico Paranaense.[citation needed] In April 2021, he agreed to a mutual termination of his contract with the club.[4]

In April 2021, Andrade joined Major League Soccer club New York City FC on a contract through 2024, with an option for 2025.[2] He made his debut for the club on 19 June 2021, scoring his first goal in the match.[5][6] In April 2023, Andrade was loaned to Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Athletico Paranaense on a season-long loan deal with a purchase option.[7][8] At the end of the year, Athletico Paranaense opted to decline the purchase option and he returned to New York City.[9] In February 2024, he was sent on a season-long loan to Chinese Super League club Shenzhen Peng City.[10][11]

In December 2024, Andrade was selected by San Diego FC in the 2024 MLS Expansion Draft,[12] before immediately being traded to Toronto FC in exchange for a first round pick in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft and $250,000 in conditional General Allocation Money.[13][14]
