His strength on the ball, accurate finishing and pace made him a well known name in the northern states of Brazil.[1] He enjoyed success at Brazilian side Ceara, before moving to Portuguese side Paços de Ferreira on a two-year deal.[2] On February 1, 2008 he was released by the club.[3]
In 2008, he trialled with Australian A-League club Queensland Roar but was rejected for failing to impress in trial matches and also due to his lack of fitness.[4]
