Heberty Fernandes de Andrade (born August 29, 1988), simply known as Heberty, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Malaysia Super League club Johor Darul Ta'zim.
In May 2015, Heberty controversially obtained Timorese citizenship, making him eligible to play for Timor-Leste internationally but he did not make his international debut with them.[1]
On 19 January 2017, the Asian Football Confederation declared 12 Brazilian men's footballers, including Heberty, ineligible to represent Timor-Leste. Following their nationality falsification, the country was banned from competing in international events.[2][3]
Heberty is considered one of the top 5 players in Matchday 13 of the Thai League 1 in an article by FOX Sports Asia.[4] He has made 249 appearances across four clubs in Thai League 1, the most for a foreign player in the league and also in the league top 10 all-time most appearances.
Heberty currently holds the record for being the all-time top scorers in Thai League 1 history with 159 goals.[5]
