He, however, failed to score in the seven games that he played for the senior side in 2020 prompting him to look for more game time in Africa.
Fonseca becomes the third Brazilian signing for Gor Mahia in recent years, joining Thiago Lima da Silva and Giovanni Rodriguez in donning the green K’Ogalo jersey.
He will make history if he features for the club as the other two signings left the club without making an appearance for Gor Mahia.
Fonseca will face stiff competition for places at Gor Mahia as the club already has five strikers in the name of Benson Omalla, Jules Ulimwengu, Nicholas Kipkirui, Dickson Raila and Tito Okello.
Aside from playing in the Serie A, he has also featured in Cup of the North-East, São Paulo Youth Football Cup and the Brazilian Aspirants Cup.
