Walter Henrique da Silva (born 22 July 1989), known simply as Walter, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Clube Atlético Paranaense as a striker.
Club career
Early career
Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Walter started his career with Esporte Clube São José, finishing his youth career with Sport Club Internacional after joining its junior team in 2006. He made his professional debuts two years later.
Walter played in 11 games in his first season in the Série A, but failed to score any goals. In May 2009, he suffered a serious injury which sidelined him for several months.
Porto
In August 2010 Walter joined FC Porto from Portugal, signing a five-year contract. The Primeira Liga club acquired the player's registration rights and 75% of his economic rights from Uruguayan side C.A. Rentistas for €6 million,[1] and later sold 25% to Pearl Design Holding Ltd. (a UK shell company, directed by Mário Jorge Queiroz e Castro) for €2.125 million;[2][3] S.C. Internacional announced in its annual accounts that the club had received R$9,192,000 in transfer fee (around €4 million), but part of that was re-distributed to third parties for R$1,980,033[4]– it was also reported that the side owned 50% of the player's economic rights, with the other half belonging to third parties.[5]
Walter played his first official game for Porto on 19 August in a UEFA Europa League play-off round against K.R.C. Genk, appearing eight minutes in a 3–0 away win. On 16 October 2010 he made his first start, scoring a hat-trick against AD Os Limianos for the season's Portuguese Cup, in a 4–1 home success;[6] the following month, again as a starter, he netted his first league goal, at home against Portimonense SC (2–0).[7]
Walter spent the vast majority of his first season as a backup to Radamel Falcao, but managed to finish with ten goals all competitions comprised in 25 appearances. On 15 October 2011 he scored four in a domestic cup match against C.A. Pêro Pinheiro, in an 8–0 away win.[8]
International career
Walter played with Brazil under-20s in the 2009 South American Youth Championship. He scored five goals in the tournament held in Venezuela, being crowned top scorer as the national team won its tenth title in the category.
