Career
João Batista Lima Gomes was born on 24 June 1985 in the city Mossoró in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte, whose name he chose as his stage name. The previous career of the striker is marked by a series of more or less short exposures:
In 2005 he moved than 20 years of Associação Cultural Esporte Clube Baraúnas from his hometown Mossoró for Saudi Arabian champion and cup winner Al Hilal Riyadh. After a year he went back to Brazil Associação Atlética Ponte Preta, for which he 6 Série A matches played, and then played for half a year in the Série C in Friburguense Atlético Clube. A guest performance at the Portuguese Super league club CF Estrela Amadora in the fall of 2007, ended after only three games ( and 138 official matches minutes) due to problems with the payment of salary. Mossoró then returned to his footballing roots to Baraúnas Esporte Clube, back, tried but a few months later to move to Europe.
After the Austrian Bundesliga side SC Rheindorf Altach was not interested in signing the striker was tested by the first division club FC Wacker Innsbruck, which also Fabiano - a former team-mate Mossorós at Ponte Preta - played. Mossoró scored in five friendly matches 7 goals and convinced in technical terms, he was due to lack of fitness but initially only a sample contract until the end of March 2009. This led to a contract until the end of the season with an option for extension, which the club three games also moved before the competition closing.

Enter the first time on the scoresheet, he was allowed to on 20 March 2009 with a brace against the SKN St. Pölten. Well on the way to becoming one of the crowd favorites, Mossoró suffered a sudden setback in a friendly match against SpVgg Unterhaching he retired on 1 July 2009 to a torn ACL and fell in order for the entire fall season from. His comeback in March 2010 was, apart from a double against the Vienna, marked only by a few brief appearances. A change was already apparent in April; 4 June 2010, exactly one week after the FC Wacker Innsbruck could fix the title in the second-class First Division and promotion to the Bundesliga, then Mossorós farewell was officially announced.
