His signing was announced on May 9, 2006 in a press conference where the Lynx introduced two more signings from Brazil. He made his debut for the Lynx against the Rochester Rhinos coming on as a substitute for David Diplacido. Unfortunately for Andrade his debut match would end up being his final appearance for Toronto. As he was deemed as surplus inn order to make room for new additional signings.
His contract was bought out by the Brampton Stallions of the Canadian Soccer League. He made his debut for the Stallions in a match against London City, where he recorded his first goal of the season in a 6–0 thrashing over City at home. He had a relatively successful tenure with Brampton, where he led that Stallions to five game undefeated streak and finished off the season as the second highest scorer for Brampton with seven goals. He helped the Brampton side clinch a playoff spot by finishing second in the National Division.
After his stint in Canada came to a conclusion, he returned to Brazil to have stints with Mixto, Poços de Caldas Futebol Clube, and Rolim de Moura Esporte Clube in the Campeonato Rondoniense.
