Club career

ASA

Born in Arapiraca, Alagoas, Didira represented hometown side ASA as a youth, playing as a right back. He made his first team debut in 2006,[1] but was sparingly used and was subsequently loaned to lowly Universal FC in the following year.[2]

Back to ASA, Didira was converted into an attacking midfielder and became a regular starter, achieving promotion to the Série B in 2009. On 17 July 2010, he scored a brace in a 6–1 home routing of Brasiliense.

On 23 September 2011, Didira joined Série A club Atlético Mineiro on loan until the end of the year.[3] He made his top tier debut on 2 October, replacing Triguinho in a 1–1 home draw against Ceará, and played in only one further match before terminating his contract with the club on 27 December.[4]

Didira remained at ASA until 2015, and announced he agreed to a contract with a Chinese club in October.[5]

CSA

On 28 November 2015, Didira was presented at CSA.[6] The following 1 June, he moved to ABC,[7] but left the club in the following month and returned to CSA.[8]

Upon returning, Didira was an undisputed starter for the club, achieving four consecutive promotions (from Série D to Série A). On 7 December 2018, after previously announcing that he would leave the club, he agreed to a new one-year deal.[9]
