On Monday 1st September 2024, the Club confirmed the signing of exciting young winger Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk for an undisclosed fee, agreeing a contract until the summer of 2030, with a Club option to extend by a further year.

Kevin’s acceleration, quick feet and vision have proven a nightmare for defenders so far in his career, one which started in his native Brazil with Palmeiras.

In just 11 senior appearances he was able to add a league title to his CV, while simultaneously attracting the attention of Ukrainian giants Shakhtar, who brokered a reported €15m deal to bring him to Eastern Europe.

He helped his new side secure a league and cup double in his maiden campaign, retaining the Ukrainian Cup the following season while also sampling Champions League football for the first time.

Kevin was named Shakhtar Player of the Season by the club’s fans in 2024/25, and leaves with 17 goals and 10 assists to his name from just 57 appearances.
