Career

[edit]

Born in Santana do Livramento, Ygor started his career with Vasco da Gama.[1] In February 2007, he was transferred to Start of Norway for about €1 million. He signed a four-year contract with the club[2] and made his league debut on 9 April 2007 against Aalesund. He scored his first goal for the club six days later in a 1–1 draw against Viking, which was the opening game of Start's new stadium Sør Arena.[3][4] Ygor featured in all of Start's league games in the 2007 season. Following the club's relegation from the Norwegian Premier League in 2007, he was loaned out to Fluminense for the 2008 season in Brazil. After a year in Fluminense, he went on loan to Portuguesa, and stayed at Lusa for one year. His contract with Start was terminated in March 2010.[5] After this, Ygor signed with Figueirense.[6]
