He began his career at Corinthians in 2007, and won three titles with the club, the 2009 Copa do Brasil, 2009 Campeonato Paulista, and the 2008 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B. He stayed at the club for four years until moving to Ukraine in 2011 to play for Shakhtar Donetsk, with which he won a domestic treble in 2012: the Ukrainian Premier League, Ukrainian Cup, and Ukrainian Super Cup. He was briefly loaned out to Turkish club Beşiktaş in 2013.

Career

Corinthians

2007

After being presented from the youth team as a promising youngster, he made his first appearance for Corinthians in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A during the derby game against Palmeiras, and scored his first goal in a draw against Fluminense on 7 July 2007.[2]

2008

He was Corinthians's top scorer during the Campeonato Paulista 2008. He also was the team's top scorer alongside German Herrera with 14 goals during the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B 2008, which the club won.

2009

Dentinho led Corinthians to the league and cup title alongside new Corinthians signing Ronaldo during the 2009 Campeonato Paulista and the 2009 Copa do Brasil. He scored in the cup semifinal on 27 May 2009 in a 1–1 draw against Vasco da Gama to help Corinthians pass to the final and beat Internacional. On 30 September 2009, Dentinho signed an agreement with Corinthians in order to extend his contract until December 2013. He also received a salary increase, with a release clause of over 30 million euros.[1]

2010

Dentinho scored his first ever goal in Copa Libertadores for Corinthians on 10 March 2010, a strike from just outside the area to draw level in a group fixture away to Colombian club Independiente Medellín.[3]

Shakhtar Donetsk

On 18 May 2011, Dentinho signed a five-year contract with Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk. The deal between Corinthians and Shakhtar was reported to be €7.5 million.[4] It saw Dentinho join a team with several Brazilian players already amongst their ranks, including former Corinthians teammate Willian and fellow Brazilian U20 player Douglas Costa.

On 10 July, he came on as a 58th minute substitution for Alex Teixeira, scoring just five minutes into his debut, in a 4–0 win against Obolon Kyiv.[5] He managed three goals in 18 league appearances in his first season with Shakhtar.[6] The club clinched the title for the 2011–12 Premier League season as well as the Ukrainian Cup.[7] Dentinho was an unused substitute for the 2–0 2012 Super Cup victory over Metalurh Donetsk.[8] He scored a goal in his first start of the 2012–13 season in a 3–0 victory over Karpaty Lviv.[9]
