Career

edit

Born in Santa Cruz do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Claudinho represented hometown side Santa Cruz-RS as a youth before making his senior debut with Avenida in the 2010 Campeonato Gaúcho.[1] He moved to Cruzeiro-RS later in that year, and subsequently had loan spells at Metropolitano and two stints at Juventude.[2][3]

In 2015, Claudinho moved to Ypiranga-RS,[4] but started the 2016 season at São José-RS. On 29 April of that year, however, he returned to Ypiranga on loan.[5]

On 8 December 2017, after being a starter back at São José, Claudinho signed a permanent contract with Ypiranga, being immediately loaned back to his first club Avenida for the 2018 Gauchão.[6] He rejoined Avenida permanently for the 2019 season, being a regular starter during his spell.

On 12 December 2019, Claudinho agreed to a deal with Brusque,[7] and renewed his contract with the club on 27 April 2021.[8] On 17 December, he was announced at Manaus.[9]

In August 2022, Claudinho moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Naft Al-Wasat in the Iraq Stars League, but moved on loan to Al-Diwaniya on 6 September. On 24 January 2023, he returned to his home country and signed for Ituano in the second division.[10]
