Club career

Born in Eldorado dos Carajás, Pará, Brito graduated with Santos' youth setup, after starting it out at Figueirense. He made his senior debuts with Pinheiros in the Campeonato Catarinense's third level, and moved to Uberaba in November 2011.[1]

In July 2012 Brito moved to Grêmio Barueri, on loan until the end of the season.[2] He made his debut as a professional on the 7th, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–4 away loss against Joinville.

Brito scored his first professional goals six days later, netting a brace in a 3–0 away success against Ipatinga.[3] He was bought outright at the end of the season.

On 22 September 2014 Brito was presented at Portuguesa.[4] He only appeared rarely, and was released in December.

On 4 February 2015 Brito returned to Santos, signing a two-year contract and being immediately loaned to Al-Nasr SC.[5]
