Wéverton Pereira da Silva, simply known as Wéverton (born 13 December 1987), is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Atlético Paranaense as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Rio Branco, Acre, Wéverton joined Corinthians' youth setup in 2006, aged 19, after impressing in a match for Juventus. He was promoted to the former's main squad in 2007, but was demoted to fourth-choice after Rafael Santos' promotion.

Wéverton was subsequently loaned to Remo, Oeste[1] and América (RN).[2] With the latter he appeared regularly in Série B, sharing minutes with veteran Rodolpho.

Wéverton was released by Timão in January 2010, and moved to Botafogo (SP) shortly after. After impressing with the side, he signed for Portuguesa on 12 May.[3]

Wéverton was an undisputed starter at Lusa, appearing in all league matches in 2011, as his side were crowned champions. In May 2012 he joined Atlético Paranaense, after his previous link expired.[4]

On 15 October 2014, after being named captain for the campaign, Wéverton renewed his link until 2017.[5]
