While in Australia, A-League side Queensland Roar had been struggling for goals all season and opted to buy a player on a loan rather than a transfer as the window was closed.

Reinaldo scored two goals and was impressive in all six matches on his short-term loan for Queensland, but it was all too late for the Roar who missed out on the finals.
