Otelul Galati announced the signing of Rafael Brito, a Portuguese midfielder who was free on the market after his contract with Casa Pia ended at the end of last season. The player signed a deal with the Romanian club until 2028.

The arrival of Rafael Brito represents another Portuguese addition to Otelul's squad, which has been investing in signing Portuguese players to strengthen their team. The midfielder joins the existing Portuguese contingent at the Romanian club.

With this signing, Otelul Galati continues to strengthen their roster for the new season, seeking to consolidate their position in Romanian football with players with international experience from Portugal.

Rafael Brito arrives at the Romanian club after representing Casa Pia, a club from the Portuguese Primeira Liga, where he accumulated significant experience in the top national championship.
