[edit] Club career

Cassio's arrival at Adelaide United came after all of the club's options at left-back (Matthew Kemp, Adam van Dommele and Aaron Goulding) were either released or transferred at the end of the 2006-07 A-League season.^[1]

Although failing to score during his debut A-league campaign, his 3 assists, and contribution of 14 shots on target, revealed how dangerous Cassio was as an attacking force. For his significant contributions on the field for the 2007-08 season, he was given three end of season awards, including the Club Champion award.^[2]
