Newly promoted Portuguese Liga side SC Beira-Mar have signed 32-year-old Brazilian striker Mário Jardel on a one-year contract.
Incredible record
The Aveiro club have agreed terms with Jardel, who impressed in spells at FC Porto and Sporting Clube de Portugal, scoring 183 goals in 174 Liga games, including 42 in the 2002/03 season. He has struggled to reproduce that form in subsequent stints at Bolton Wanderers FC, Ancona Calcio, CA Newell's Old Boys, EC Palmeiras and Goiás EC. Beira-Mar have also taken the 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder Luciano Ratinho from Paysandu SC.
