Johnathan Aparecido da Silva (born 29 March 1990), widely recognized as Johnathan Goiano or simply Johnathan, is a professional Brazilian footballer who operates primarily as a striker. During his tenure with Suwon Samsung Bluewings, he earned the nickname "Suwon Ronaldo" due to his striking resemblance to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Career Overview

Johnathan began his football journey at Goiás, where he played from 2009 to 2011, making 12 appearances without scoring. Between 2010 and 2011, he was loaned to Arles-Avignon in France, featuring in three matches but not registering any goals.

From 2012 through 2017, Johnathan was contracted to Itauçu EC but did not make any official appearances for the club. During this period, he experienced several loan spells: in 2012 at Goianésia, in 2013 at both Central and CRAC, and again in 2014 at Central. His time at CRAC included five caps without goals; other loan stints saw no recorded match appearances.

A significant phase of his career unfolded between 2014 and 2015 when Johnathan was loaned to Daegu FC in South Korea, where he played 68 games and scored an impressive 40 goals. In 2016, he briefly joined Sport Recife on loan but did not feature in any matches. Subsequently, from 2016 to 2017, he was loaned to Suwon Samsung Bluewings, contributing 32 goals across 43 appearances.

In the next chapter, Johnathan signed with Chinese side Tianjin TEDA, playing from 2018 until 2021 and netting 22 goals in 40 games. His most recent engagements include a stint with Chengdu Rongcheng during the 2021–2022 season, where he appeared twice without scoring, and a loan spell at Gwangju FC in 2021, also featuring twice without goals.

Career

During the 2010–11 season, Johnathan Goiano was loaned to a club in Avignon, France. In 2014, he signed with Daegu FC, a team competing in the K-League Challenge. Throughout that season, he netted 14 goals over 29 appearances, which led to an extension of his contract with the club. Following the conclusion of the 2015 campaign, Johnathan returned to Brazil by joining Sport Recife; however, by July 2016, he had transferred back to South Korea to play for Suwon Samsung Bluewings.

In July 2017, after scoring a goal, Johnathan set a new milestone for Suwon Samsung Bluewings by becoming the fastest player in the club’s history to reach 30 goals. This achievement surpassed previous records held by Sasha and Sandro, who took a year and two months respectively to reach the same mark. Subsequently, Johnathan demonstrated remarkable form by scoring multiple goals across four consecutive matches. He contributed nine goals in the last three games for Suwon, playing a pivotal role in propelling the team to second place in the league and securing their fifth straight victory.

By the end of the 2017 season, Johnathan emerged as the top scorer in the K-League Classic with 22 goals from 26 matches and earned a spot in the league’s Best 11 lineup. Following this success, he attracted significant interest from Uli Stielike, former head coach of South Korea’s national team, which culminated in Johnathan’s transfer to Tianjin Teda in China.
