Club career

Madureira and loans

Born in São Luís, Maranhão, Lindoso was a Madureira youth graduate.[1] He made his first team debut on 5 July 2009, starting in a 0–0 Série D home draw against Tupi.[2]

Lindoso became a regular starter for the side in the following campaigns, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–3 home win against Botafogo-SP on 14 August 2010.[3] Impressing during the 2011 Campeonato Carioca, he joined Série A side Fluminense on 16 May 2011, on loan for one year.[4]

Lindoso made his top tier debut on 7 September 2011, starting in a 2–1 away win against Cruzeiro.[5] The following February, after being rarely used, he moved to Criciúma also in a temporary deal.[6]

After again receiving limited chances, Lindoso returned to Madureira for the 2013 Campeonato Carioca, where he stood out as one of the team's best performers.

Marítimo

On 25 June 2013, Lindoso signed a four-year contract with Portuguese Primeira Liga side C.S. Marítimo.[7] He made his debut abroad on 1 September, coming on as a half-time substitute for João Luiz in a 1–1 home draw against S.C. Olhanense.

Lindoso struggled to appear for the side, being also sidelined due to an injury.[8]

Madureira return

In February 2014, Lindoso returned to Madureira after rescinding his contract with Marítimo.[9] He immediately became a first-choice for the club, scoring five goals in the 2015 Campeonato Carioca.

Botafogo

On 21 July 2015, Lindoso was loaned to Botafogo in the Série B, until the end of the year.[10] On 1 December, after achieving top tier promotion as champions, he signed a permanent two-year contract with the club.[11]

Lindoso scored his first goal in the first division on 21 May 2017, netting his team's second in a 2–0 home win against Ponte Preta. On 14 July, he extended his contract until 2019.[12]

Internacional

On 8 January 2019, Lindoso agreed to a two-year deal with Internacional, with Alex Santana moving in the opposite direction.[13]
