Johnny

A Brazilian footballer Johnny Meg do Nascimento Osório performs for Nanchang Hengyuan as a defensive midfielder. Johnny was born on 6 August 1985 in Lavras.

In 2000, Osório entered the youth academy of Ituano, where he soon became considered to be a very promising young player. That’s why he finished his formation in a year and got his first chance on the club’s senior team. Unfortunately, the move to the first squad of Ituano didn’t bring the expected results. Johnny got the place among the substitute players and made only rare appearances. In 2006, he moved to Tupi, but there he didn’t get the place in the starting eleven either.

In 2007, the midfielder became the member of Paulista. For this club he made no appearances at all. In 2008, Osório spent time trying to make team with the temporary side Vasco da Gama. But within few months, after he’d made five appearances for the Rio de Janeiro-based club, he moved on loan to Náutico.

In 2009, Johnny penned a contract with Alagoano. Hardly had he put pen to the paper of the contract, when he was loaned out by União São João. The same year, he served loan at Nautico. He netted one goal in 19 matches for the temporary team.

In 2010, a season-long loan followed at Nanchang Bayi. Johnny managed to display a good performance during the spell by making 33 appearances. In 2012, the club made his move permanent and Osório became the official member of Chinese club.
