Club career

edit

Born in Três de Maio, Santa Catarina, Eduardo joined Criciúma's youth setup in 2014, after a recommendation from his brother, who was already in the club's first team.[1] He made his senior debut on 12 April 2015, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 Campeonato Catarinense home win over Metropolitano.

Mainly used in the under-20 squad afterwards, Eduardo moved to Cruzeiro on a one-year loan deal.[1] However, he only featured for the under-20s, and returned to Criciúma for the 2018 campaign, where he became a starter.[2]

On 13 January 2022, Eduardo signed a two-year contract with Avaí, newly promoted to the Série A.[3]

Personal life

edit

Eduardo's older brother Ezequiel is also a footballer. A right back, he too was groomed at Criciúma.[4]
