Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Mosquito joined Vasco da Gama's youth setup in 2009, but left the club in 2011 due to unpaid wages.[1] On 4 May 2012 he agreed a deal with São Paulo,[2] but the deal was declared void only five days later.[3]

Mosquito joined Atlético Paranaense on 29 October 2012,[4] but was not allowed to play until February of the following year.[1] He made his senior debut on 2 February 2014, starting and scoring his side's only in a 1–2 away loss against Rio Branco for the Campeonato Paranaense championship;[5] it was his maiden appearance of the competition.

Mosquito made his Série A debut on 20 April 2014, playing the last 16 minutes of a 1–0 home win against Grêmio.[6] He scored his first professional goal on the 27th, netting his side's first of a 2–2 away draw against Vitória.[7]

On 20 February 2015, after being released by Furacão, Mosquito returned to his first club Vasco, signing a short-term deal.[8] He was excluded from the first team in July, after only appearing in two matches.[9]

On 14 August 2015 Mosquito moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a loan deal with Spanish Segunda División side UE Llagostera. He made his debut for the club on 22 August, replacing Chumbi in a 0–2 home loss against CA Osasuna.[10]
