Club career
editGilsinho's father was an amateur footballer who encouraged him and his brother to take up the sport. When he grew up he would go on to become a professional footballer and started his career playing for his hometown football club Taubaté in the Brazilian Campeonato Paulista Série A3 division. After several seasons Gilsinho would move up a division when he joined São Bento to play in the Campeonato Paulista Série A2 while his younger brother Gisiel Rezende Agostinho joined his old club as their new goalkeeper. After his stint with São Bento Gilsinho would join Campeonato Brasileiro Série B side Londrina, however his time with the club was not very successful as the struggled within the league while Gilsinho saw little playing time.[2]
Gilsinho would decide to go abroad and joined recently promoted Chinese Super League side Wuhan Guanggu where he quickly became a regular and helped guide them to a fifth-place finish as well as winning the 2005 Chinese Super League Cup with them.[3] For the next several seasons he continued to be a vital member of the team until another Chinese club in Henan Jianye looked to sign him to help out in their attack, however after staying with them for a whole season he was only able to score two goals and was allowed to leave. This saw Gilsinho go back to Brazil where he would go back to his old clubs Taubaté, São Bento and Taubaté again where he played alongside his brother for a short time before deciding to retire.
