Rosinei Adolfo, also known simply as Rosinei, is a professional football player from Brazil who plays as an attacking midfielder. Rosinei began playing at the youth system at Cruzeiro in Brazil. In 2003, upon graduating from the youth level, Rosinei made his debut at Sao Caetano. After a single season at the lower division, Rosinei’s talent shone through and he was picked up by Brazilian big-wigs, Corinthians, in 2004.

Rosinei became a regular starter in the Corinthians’ lineup and soon, had notched up more than a 100 games between 2004 and 2007. From the midfield, Rosinei would also provide the odd vital goal and 14 over four seasons was a decent showing for the young midfielder.

In 2008, Rosinei moved to Real Murcia, a team in the Spanish second division but failed to cope with the change in playing style more so due to his lack of experience at the top level. After just 11 games in the 2008 season, Rosinei was sent out on loan to Internacional, in his home country, for some first team experience. 37 games and a goal later, Rosinei returned to Real Murcia, only to be sent on a second consecutive loan spell, this time at Club America in the Mexican Primera Division.

Despite not making the cut on most occasions, Rosinei has already accumulated winners’ medals from the 2002 South Minas Cup, the 2002 Minas Gerais State Superleague, the 2005 Brazilian League with the Corinthians, the 2008 Copa Sudamericana with Internacional and the 2009 Rio Grande do Sul State League, also with Internacional.
