He began his football career at 12, playing well for Paraná. After five years he moved to Atletico Paranaense. He injured himself and his team released him, but after a year he came in Romania playing for FC Baia Mare.

He substituted Ion Dumitra in the 86th minute of the away game against Rapid, in the 2nd day of the season. After those 4 minutes, he never appeared even on the substitutes' bench, being sent to the satellite team, in the third league.
He moved to Liga 2 team FC Botoşani, in the January 2008 transfer window. After three appearances as a substitute, he became starter for FC Botoşani, playing in 16 of the 17 second half of the season fixtures. He scored his first goal on April 5, in the away game against Dunarea Giurgiu, but scored just anotherone until the end of the season.
However, in the 2008-2009 season, he managed to score 5 goals in 20 appearances (about half of them as a substitute) for FC Botoşani. In July 2009, he moved to FCM Bacău, also in Liga 2. He had a great start of the season, managing to score 4 goals in the first five league games.
