Madison, Wis. - Forward Madison FC on Thursday announced the signing of Matheus Cassini pending league and federation approval. The 25-year-old Brazilian attacking midfielder joins FMFC from his most recent season with Bulgarian First League side Botev Vratsa.

“Matheus has a wealth of international experience," said head coach Matt Glaeser. "He’s played at high levels and we anticipate him to be a high-impact performer for our team and in the league. He’s hardworking, versatile in and out of possession, and has a deadly left foot.”

Cassini’s career began in 2008 when he joined his hometown club Corinthians in Brazil’s top division and played within the club's youth ranks until 2015 when he was picked up by Italian club Palermo FC. During his time with Palermo, Cassini was loaned to Croatian and Italian squads, making fifteen appearances with Italian side ASD Siracusa.

In 2017, Cassini signed a five-month deal with Ponte Preta in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A league. Later that year, he signed with Santos FC and later Oeste FC. In 2018, Cassini signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with French side Amiens SC. In 2021, Cassini played for Sampaio Corrêa making 11 appearances before most recently playing for Botev Vratsa where he also made 11 appearances.
