Cléber António de Oliveira or simply Clebão or Cléber (born July 9, 1983) is a Brazilian football player who is currently playing for América de Natal.
Club career
Brazil
After a brief stay with Santos FC, Clebão started his career with São Paulo state club Sãocarlense. In 2004 he moved to Campeonato Mineiro club Caldense. After one season with the club he moved to São Carlos and helped his new club capture the 2005 Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão.
China
In 2006 Clebão was loaned out to Chinese side Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.[1] In 2007 Clebão helped Guanzhou F.C. to a first-place finish in China League One and promotion to the China Super League.
Return to Brazil
Following his loan stint in China he returned to São Carlos. His play with São Carlos led to interest from Campeonato Paulista Série A2 side União São João which took him on loan during the 2008 season. While with São Carlos Clebão appeared in 63 matches (fourth most appearances with the club) and scored 6 goals.[2]
Europe
Following the 2009 season Clebão started to receive offers from European clubs including Portugal's C.F. Os Belenenses [3] and was reportedly close to signing with recently promoted 2. Fußball-Bundesliga side FC Union Berlin. After the move fell through, he transferred to C.D. Nacional of the Portuguese Liga in August 2009 and made his debut for Nacional against Sporting CP on 15 August playing the full 90 in a 1-1 draw. During his time with Nacional he appeared in seven league matches and featured in one Europa League match.
