The 28-year-old has won the Brazilian championship eight times - four apiece with Corinthians and former club SE Palmeiras. He has agreed a three-year deal with the Lisbon side, who earlier this month appointed José Peseiro as coach.
Versatile performer
Rogério said: "My goal is to win trophies. Throughout my career I have won trophies and I want to repeat that with Sporting. I can play as a right-winger or in central midfield or behind the forwards. It will depend on a conversation that I will have with the new coach." Sporting begin their UEFA Cup campaign in the first round.
