Club career

edit

Portugal

edit

Born in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Vinícius only played lower league football in his country. In 2006 he signed with Portuguese club Santa Clara, making his debut in the Segunda Liga on 27 August in a 1–0 away win against Portimonense where he played the full 90 minutes. He scored his first goal of the season on 14 January 2007, but in a 2–1 loss at Gil Vicente.[4]

Remaining in the country, Vinícius joined Leixões in the summer of 2007.[5] His first match in the Primeira Liga took place on 3 November of that year, when he came on as a late substitute in the 3–0 home victory over Braga.[6] During the 2008 January transfer window, still owned by Grêmio Anápolis, he moved to Olhanense.[7]

Vinícius signed for União de Leiria for 2008–09, netting twice during the campaign[8][9] to help his team return to the top division after a one-year absence.[10] In the following years he continued to be regularly used, notably scoring in a 1–0 away defeat of Sporting CP on 12 December 2009.[11]

Subsequently, and save for a short spell back in his country with amateurs Operário, Vinícius continued to compete in the Portuguese top tier, featuring regularly at Braga[12] but also dealing with injury problems[13][14][15] and starting at Boavista.[16] He helped the former side win the 2012–13 edition of the Taça da Liga notably playing the entire semi-final against Benfica where they emerged victorious after a penalty shootout.[17]

Apollon

edit

In the summer of 2016, the 32-year-old Vinícius joined Apollon Limassol from the Cypriot First Division.[18] He scored a career-best six goals in his only season, also finding the net in the final of the domestic cup where his team defeated APOEL 1–0.[19]

Romania

edit

Vinícius signed for Romanian team CFR Cluj in June 2017.[20] He scored his first goal on 14 August, helping to a 2–0 Liga I away victory over Sepsi OSK.[21] On 10 February 2018, he opened a 1–1 draw with title contenders FCSB,[22] being an undisputed starter in his first year as the club won the fourth national championship in its history.[23][24]

Vinícius left Cluj-Napoca in the summer of 2021 upon the expiration of his contract, after winning the national title in every possible season as well as two Supercupa României. On 27 July that year, aged nearly 37, he agreed to a one-year deal with FCSB.[25] His first goal came in a 6–0 derby rout of Dinamo București on 12 September.[26]
