Nádson (footballer, born 1989)

Nádson da Silva Almeida (born 22 June 1989), simply known as Nádson, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Botafogo-PB.

A São Carlos youth graduate, Nádson was born in Lauro de Freitas, Bahia.

In 2009, he joined Palmeiras, but failed to make a single appearance for the first team, being only limited to play for the reserve team and serving loan stints at Grêmio Barueri and Ponte Preta; with the latter he made his Série A debut on 20 May 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute for Tony in a 0–1 home loss against Atlético Mineiro.

Nádson subsequently represented Avaí,[1] Bragantino, Audax, Guaratinguetá, Caldense, Sampaio Corrêa and Paraná in quick succession; with the second last he scored a career-best ten goals in the year's Série B.

On 28 December 2016, after cutting ties with the latter, he signed a two-year deal with Chapecoense in the first division.
