Club career
Born in Bebedouro, São Paulo, Gladestony started his career at Santos FC in 2008, but moved to Desportivo Brasil in the following year, as a part of a partnership with Manchester United. After a year at Icasa, he moved to the English powerhouse, being subsequently loaned to FC Twente;[1][2] he was also close friends with Paul Pogba during his spell at the Red Devils.[3]
On 21 September 2012 Gladestony joined São Paulo FC,[4] being promoted to the main squad in February the following year.[5] He left the club on 5 July 2013, after making no senior appearances, and signed for G.D. Estoril Praia.[6]
After being rarely used (only one UEFA Europa League and one Taça de Portugal match), Gladestony returned to his home country in December, and signed a one-year deal with Internacional.[7] He made his Série A debut on 27 April 2014, coming on as a second-half substitute for Alan Patrick in a 2–2 away draw against Botafogo.[8]
