Luiz Marcelo Morais dos Reis (born 10 April 1990), commonly known as Lulinha, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an winger or attacking midfielder for Liga 1 club Madura United.

Club career

Lulinha was born in Mauá, a Brazilian municipality in the São Paulo (state). He started as a futsal player before joining the Corinthians youth system at the age of 8.

There was much speculation involving Lulinha's future, but at the end of 2007 he signed a new contract with his club Corinthians, committing himself to the club until 2012.
