A professional football player from Brazil, Walter Henrique da Silva plays as a striker. In 2004, Walter was noticed, for the first time, when playing at the youth academy at Esporte Clube Sao Jose.

He played just 22 games for Internacional before moving to Porto and played another 19 times for the Portuguese side. During his Internacional career, Walter scored five goals and in Portugal, he added another seven to that tally.
