Charles

Charles Dias de Oliveira (born 4 April 1984), known simply as Charles, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Pontevedra CF as a striker.

He spent most of his career in Spain, representing clubs in La Liga, Segunda Division and Segunda Division B after starting out at Pontevedra.

Club Career

Born in Belem, Para, Charles started playing football with Santos FC where he arrived at the age of four, then completed his formation with Tuna Luso Brasileira still in his country and C.D. Feirense in Portugal. He started his senior career with the latter, competing in both the second and third divisions.

In the summer of 2004, Charles moved to Spain, signing with Pontevedra CF in Segunda Division. He made his league debut on 28 August in a 0–1 home loss against Polideportivo Ejido, being sent off after only three minutes on the pitch.

Charles spent the following five seasons with the Galicians in Segunda Division B. In his last he led the club to the promotion playoffs after scoring 15 goals in the regular season, but it eventually fell short.
