Career edit

He gained the nickname Tico Mineiro at Desportiva, as there was another athlete named Tico in the squad. Even though he was from Bahia, he received the nickname because he came from the Democrata-GV. Tico also formed a successful attacking duo with Zinho at Portuguesa Santista, in 2001 Campeonato Paulista.[1] He had two spells at South Korea's Chunnam Dragons, in addition to being A2's top scorer for Francana in 2002.[2]

In 2005, after playing in the Campeonato Alagoano for Corinthians, he played in the Copa Alagipe for ASA, becoming champion.[3]
