Shonan Bellmare announced last Sunday that striker Bruno Cesar will return to his home country of Brazil after the conclusion of his contract at the club.

The former Incheon United and Sepahan player made seven league appearances for Bellmare after joining last term’s MEIJI YASUDA J2 League winners in February.

“My time in Shonan was short, but I was always encouraged by the support of our fans when I played,” Bruno said in a statement.

“I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart. Even though I’m leaving, I’ll continue to support Bellmare.”
