Sérgio Raphael dos Anjos (born 23 October 1992), known as Sérgio Raphael, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ponte Preta.

Career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Sérgio Raphael began his career as a forward, but soon moved into a centre-back position.[1] After making his senior debut with Portuguese Terceira Divisão side Canas Senhorim in 2011, he returned to his home country with Duque de Caxias in the following year.

On 6 January 2014, Sérgio Raphael agreed to a deal with Bahia,[2] but left on 16 January after a "consensus" over his contract was not reached.[3] After having his permanence confirmed the following day,[4] he still left the club on 24 January,[5] before returning on 20 February after accepting the new conditions of the club.[6]

In September 2014, after making no appearances for Bahia, Sérgio Raphael moved to Bangu. He subsequently served loans at CRB,[7] Tigres do Brasil, Macaé[8] and Maltese side Ħamrun Spartans,[9] before returning to his parent club on 12 May 2017.[10]

In December 2017, Sérgio Raphael was announced in the squad of Juventus-SP for the upcoming season.[11] On 31 January 2019, after a short spell at Saudi club Al-Ain, he signed for Oriente Petrolero in Bolivia,[12] but rescinded his deal with the club on 7 May.[13]

On 23 August 2019, Sérgio Raphael returned to Malta and joined Sirens.[14] He moved to fellow league team Hibernians on 21 January 2021,[15] and won the 2021–22 Maltese Premier League with the club.

In 2022, Sérgio Raphael switched teams and countries again, after agreeing to a deal with Naft Al-Basra in Iraq. He moved to Sudanese side Al-Merrikh on 19 January of the following year, but left the country in April amidst the Sudanese civil war.[16]

After spending a period without a club and working as a model, Sérgio Raphael signed for Nova Iguaçu on 18 December 2023.[17] He was an undisputed starter as the club reached the 2024 Campeonato Carioca finals for the first time ever.[1]

On 11 April 2024, Sérgio Raphael was presented at Série B side Ponte Preta.[18]
