Club career

Brazil

The defensive midfielder began playing football at the age of nine and only at the age of ten he arrived at Flamengo Club as he caught the attraction of professionals with his speed and marking ability. At Flamengo, he was with the players of generation that were crowned champions of the Campeonato Carioca de Juniores in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

He had his first opportunity as a professional for Flamengo at the end of the 2006 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He played the last four games for his club under the leadership of then-manager, Ney Franco.

In 2007, he played several games either under Franco or Joel Santana and continued to train with the club in Estádio da Gávea. At the end of the year, he moved on loan to Macaé FC to play in the 2008 Campeonato Carioca.

After a brief loan spell at Macaé, he returned to Flamengo but did not make any appearance. In early 2009, he was loaned to Social FC so that he could play some matches before his contract expires. As of then he was a free-agent, he signed a contract with Botafogo FC. Together with the other red-blacks, he played and the club won the runners-up trophy in the Second Division Campeonato Candanguense 2009.

In 2010, he signed a contract with Figueirense but the club at the end of the season got relegated to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.
