Career

In 2007, when Coritiba won 2nd Division, Pedro Ken, Keirrison and Henrique were called Trio de Ouro (in English: Golden Trio) because of their important role in the championship, young age and good prospects.[1]

On 7 December 2009 Pedro Ken left Coritiba to sign for league rival Cruzeiro.[2] He signed a five-year contract with the club.

On 1 June 2011 Pedro Ken joined Avaí on a season-long loan deal.[3]

On 22 December 2012, on an exchange for Nílton, Cruzeiro loaned Ken for Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama until the end of 2013 season.[4]
