Rio de Janeiro: Dubai based Hatta Club have announced the signing of Brazilian forward Rafael Silva on a six-month loan deal.
The move, confirmed on Hatta Club's official Twitter account on Monday, comes after Silva fell out of favour at Brazilian Serie A club Cruzeiro in 2016, reports Xinhua news agency.
The 26-year-old will join compatriot Rafael Bastos at the United Arab Emirates football club.
Hatta Club are currently ninth in the 14-team United Arab Emirates league standings with four wins from 12 matches.
Silva's career has also included spells at Portuguesa and Vasco da Gama.
