Career

Leozinho started his professional career with Brazilian club Vasco da Gama but failed to make an impact. He continued his career by returning to his youth club Sport Recife. After joining Treze, interest in him also came from Europe. In 2007, he joined Greek champions Olympiacos, though failing to make an appearance for the team, and was mostly sent away on loan. Since then he has played for seven different clubs, including German side Braunschweig, Greek clubs OFI Crete, Apollon 1926, Panserraikos, Kalloni, Iraklis, and Turkish side Denizlispor. As of 2017, he has signed with Greek Super League team AEL.
