Rwan Philipe Rodrigues de Souza Cruz (born 20 May 2001), known as Rwan Seco, Rwan Cruz or just Rwan, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad.
Born in Cajueiro Seco, a small neighborhood in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Pernambuco, [2] Rwan began his career at a local footballing school named Garoto do Futuro before joining Náutico's youth categories. One year later, he joined Sport Recife as they offered a small funding assistance. [3]
Rwan left Sport in the end of 2018 and subsequently signed for Figueirense, but spent nine months without playing at his new side due to a registration problem. [2] He subsequently moved to Flamengo-SP, but returned to his hometown in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and helped his father as a bricklayer. [2] [4]
In June 2020, Rwan agreed to join Santos on loan from Flamengo, being initially assigned to the under-20s. [5] However, due to the club's transfer ban, he was registered only in the following May. [6]
Rwan spent the 2021 season playing for Santos' under-20 and under-23 sides, and signed a permanent three-year deal on 16 December of that year. [7] He made his professional debut on 20 February 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Lucas Braga in a 0–3 Campeonato Paulista home loss against São Paulo. [8]
Rwan scored his first senior goal on 23 February 2022, netting his team's third in a 3–0 away win over Salgueiro, for the year's Copa do Brasil. [9]
On 31 March 2023, Rwan was loaned to fellow top tier side Vasco da Gama until the end of the year, with a buyout clause. [10]
On 22 July 2023, Rwan was announced at Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad on loan for one year, with a buyout option. [11] In January 2024, he signed a permanent contract with the club, with Nonato moving in the opposite direction.
