Career

After having played for Sertãozinho in his country, Wellington moved abroad, signing for Romanian club Concordia on 27 June 2012.[1] He was a victim of a racial abuse during a match in September 2014 against Rapid București with a banana being thrown at him. One week later, the fan who threw the banana apologised and Wellington reportedly promised to give him a signed Jersey besides accepting a public apology.[2] In April 2015, it was announced that he demanded an early termination of his contract so that he could return to Brazil for treatment of an injury.[3] On 29 April 2015, he officially terminated his contract after spending three seasons with it during which he scored 19 goals.[4]

On 24 June 2015, Wellington moved to Pandurii of the same league, penning a one-year deal.[5] After having scored a single goal for the club, he switched clubs and countries, signing for Cypriot club AEL Limassol on 9 May 2016.[6] On 31 January 2017, he joined Portuguese club Feirense.[7]
