Rodrigo Oliveira da Silva Alvim (born 23 November 1983) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a left-back.
Club career
Born in Porto Alegre, Alvim made his professional debut in 2003 with Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul. He went on to represent Grêmio FBPA and Paraná Clube in his country and, in June 2006, he moved to Portuguese club C.F. Os Belenenses.
After two impressive Primeira Liga seasons with the Lisbon team, coached by Jorge Jesus, Alvim signed a three-year deal with VfL Wolfsburg in late July 2008. He was crowned Bundesliga champion in his first season, but contributed only 24 minutes to that feat.
On 25 January 2010, Alvim's contract with Wolfsburg was terminated and, the following day, he returned to Brazil and joined defending Série A champions CR Flamengo.
