Career
Born in São Miguel do Iguaçu, Perdigão started competing in Cianorte, from where he moved to Portugal in 2011; joining Tourizense in Portuguese third tier.
His performances led him to a move to S.C. Braga, signing on 30 January 2013, and briefly competing for their reserve squad, debuting on 3 February 2013, in a Segunda Liga match against Tondela.[1][2]
He was released six months later, and returned to the third tier, signing with Famalicão, adding nearly thirty league caps in the sole season there. In May 2014, Perdigão moved to Desportivo Aves, returning to the Segunda Liga, debuting for his new team on 27 July 2014.[3] After one and half seasons with Aves, he moved to Chaves and signed a six-month deal.[4][5] In May 2016, he extended his contract with Chaves for another two seasons.[6]
On 29 July 2020, FC Alashkert announced the signing of Perdigão.[7]
