Club career

Born in Penápolis, São Paulo, Matheus joined Corinthians' youth setup in 2009, aged 16, after starting it out at São Paulo.[1] In 2012, after a short loan stint at Flamengo de Guarulhos, he was promoted to the main squad in 2012 by manager Tite.[2]

On 15 April 2012 Matheus played his first match as a professional, coming on as a late substitute for Vitor Júnior in a 2–1 away win against Ponte Preta for the Campeonato Paulista championship.[3] He subsequently served loans at Bragantino,[4] Grêmio Osasco Audax[5] and Guaratinguetá[6] before being released in 2014.

In 2015 Matheus returned to Audax, now in a permanent deal.[7]
