Pinto, 27, has had stints with Marsaxlokk, FC Swieqi Utd, Portomosense, Melita and Atl. Granadilla.

Elmina sharks are currently 12th on the league log of the Ghana Premier league and are just two points above the relegation zone, hence the signing of the Brazilian would boost their bid to survive in the Ghanaian topflight league.

Meanwhile, Yaw Acheampong is reported to have replaced coach Kobina Amissah who was asked to step aside by the club.
