Gleidionor Figueiredo Pinto Júnior (born 30 December 1986), or simply Júnior Negrão (often written as Negão), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for China League One club Sichuan Jiuniu. Having extensively traveled around Brazil and Europe during the first part of his career due to frequent loan spells, Júnior has turned out to be a late bloomer since the start of his adventure in Asian football, thanks to a streak of successful seasons in Thailand and South Korea. During this same period of time, he has gained the nickname "The Smiling Assassin", due to the funny contrast between his quiet, kind and positive attitude off the pitch and his impressive goals to game ratio, united with a hard-working and aggressive style of play, on the pitch.
