Club career

edit

Born in Ponta Grossa, Sílvio graduated with Cianorte's youth system, making his senior debuts in 2006 and becoming a starter in 2008. On 12 June 2009 he signed for Internacional,[1] but was only used in the club's B-team.

On 26 January 2011, after having a two-week trial at Chelsea, Sílvio joined Atlético Paranaense.[2] After being released he moved to América-RN,[3] but was only used as a backup.

On 12 February 2012 Sílvio returned to Paraná, signing a short-term deal with Operário Ferroviário.[4] After impressing with the side in Campeonato Paranaense he joined Coritiba on 5 June of the following year, being immediately loaned to Marcílio Dias.[5]

On 19 July 2013 Sílvio moved back to his former club América,[6] making his professional debut on 10 September, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Icasa for the Série B championship.[7] However, he was mainly used as a backup to Andrey, only appearing in three matches.

On 10 January 2014 Sílvio joined Chapecoense, newly promoted to Série A.[8] He subsequently spent the whole campaign as a third-choice, behind Nivaldo and Danilo.
