Former Brazil international defender Henrique has joined reigning Brazilian Serie A champions Corinthians on a two-year deal.

The announcement came almost a month after the 31-year-old parted ways with Rio de Janeiro outfit Fluminense, reports Xinhua.

"I'm really happy and honoured to be able to wear this shirt. I hope we can be really happy together," Henrique said.

A centre-back who has made seven appearances for Brazil's national team, Henrique spent two seasons with Fluminense after his 2015 move from Italy's Napoli.

The Brazilian Serie A season begins on April 15 while the group stage of the Copa Libertadores -- South America's top club competition -- starts on February 27.
