On August 2, Chinese soccer industry ushered in heavy news: Brazil's second division club Bahia officially announced that Chinese naturalized player Gao Latter, who once played for Guangzhou Football Club, officially joined the club, and both sides have a contract until the end of the season.
Golatt joined Santos Brazil as a free agent after his contract with Guangzhou was terminated in December last year. However, during his half year in Santos, Golat's performance was not ideal, with only 4 goals and 2 assists in 29 matches, especially in the Barclays Premier League, where he had no income. Last month, he and Santos reached an agreement on the early termination of his contract.
This time, Golat moved to Barclays B and signed a short six-month contract with Bahia. Intriguingly, although Golat was registered with a Chinese passport when he played for Santos, this time he joined Bahia, officials did not specify whether he was considered a foreigner or not.
FC Bahia posted a video on their social media where Director of Football Eduardo Freeland praised Gallagher's performance, "Gallagher is a powerhouse player who has a strong desire to win. We made a huge effort to sign him and we are very pleased that he was willing to accept our financial conditions."
Golat, 35, moved to Guangzhou Football Club from Brazil's Cruzeiro in 2015, during which time he scored 110 goals and contributed 54 assists in 174 matches, helping the team win three Chinese Super League titles, an AFC Champions League title and an AFC Cup. During Golat's time with Guangzhou, he was also loaned out to Palmeiras and Hebei.
In Barclays Premier League (BPL), Golat will face a number of old friends from the Chinese Super League (CSL), including his old partner from his Guangzhou days, Aixon, who is now playing for Grêmio. Another former Chinese Super League champion, Teixeira, is also playing in the Barclays Premier League and has just played his first game back for Vasco da Gama.
