Now the 36-year-old has resurfaced in the Brazilian lower leagues, signing a two-year deal with Rio Branco EC. The club is based in Americana, São Paulo.
“After a very long stay abroad, it is a great happiness to return to where it all began and in the city where I grew up with my family,” ” he said after joining the new club.
“Rio Branco is my second home, I hope I can help [the club] a lot.”
Nascimento made 175 appearances in South African football, scoring twenty goals with two assists to his name.
