BARNSLEY FC pulled off a massive coup by signing Brazilian Anderson Silva de França on loan from Premiership side Everton.

Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the 24-year-old started his career with Chilean side Santiago Wanderers before switching to La Liga outfit Racing Santander, where he made 38 appearances, netting two goals. He enjoyed time with Uruguayan club Montevideo before agreeing to join Everton in 2005 although problems with his work permit meant he was forced to return to Spain with Malaga on an extended loan for a season. He made 15 appearances for Malaga.

He finally joined up with Everton in late December 2006. Anderson made his Premiership debut on April 15, 2007 in a 2-1 victory over Charlton Athletic when he replaced Mikel Arteta with just minutes remaining. A talented midfielder with an eye for goal, Anderson extended his stay at Oakwell for a second month in September 2007. Anderson proved to be one of the best midfielders in the Championship with a string of impressive displays for the Reds after joining the Club permanently at the end of January 2008. However, a serious knee injury at Norwich City in March 2008 ended his campaign early. A real superstar midfielder on his day in the Championship, Anderson enjoyed a fine 2008/2009 after making his comeback from injury at Southampton in September. Although hampered a little through injury and suspension along the way, Anderson was still in majestic form at times and made 33 appearances for the Club, netting twice.

Anderson was left frustrated during 2009/2010 as he struggled to command a regular place in the side and, despite showing glimpses of his potential, he never really hit the heights of the previous campaign. Outstanding performances against Burnley in the Carling Cup and at Preston North End were the highlight of a frustrating campaign from the Brazilian midfielder.
