Playing career

Brazil

Neto began his career in 1998 with SE Palmeiras where he assisted the team in winning the 1998 Copa do Brasil against Cruzeiro.[1] Shortly after he signed with Clube do Remo where he won the Campeonato Paraense state title in 1999.[1] He returned to his former club Palmeiras in 2001 where he had several loan spells with various clubs throughout his tenure.[1] His first loan spell was with Coritiba followed by Santa Cruz in 2002, and with Mogi Mirim in 2003.[1]

In 2004, he played abroad in the Sudan Premier League with Al-Merrikh SC. After a season in Sudan, he returned to Brazil to sign with Vasco da Gama.[2][3] He only appeared in two matches with Vasco and shortly after signed with Inter de Limeira in the Campeonato Paulista.[4]

After pursing his career in North America for three years he returned to Brazil in 2009 to play with Esporte Clube São Bento and Tocantins Futebol Clube.[5]

After the relegation of the Toronto Lynx to the USL Premier Development League in 2007, he played in the Canadian Soccer League with the Serbian White Eagles.[13] During his time with the Eagles, he appeared in sixteen games and scored 5 goals. In late 2007, he was drafted by the New Jersey Ironmen in the Major Indoor Soccer League expansion draft.[7] He ultimately signed a contract with the club.[14][15] In his debut season in indoor soccer, he appeared in 16 matches and scored five goals.[16] After the conclusion of the season, he was waived from his contract in 2008.[17]
