Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Welliton joined Corinthians' youth setup in 2015, from Vasco da Gama. On 3 July 2019, after being rarely used in the under-20 squad, he terminated his contract and joined Oeste.[1]

Welliton made his first team debut for Oeste on 31 August 2019, coming on as a late substitute for Bruno Lopes in a 0–0 Série B home draw against Sport Recife.[2] He featured sparingly for the side in the following two years, suffering two relegations during the 2020 season.

On 8 March 2021, Welliton joined Red Bull Bragantino and was initially assigned to reserve team Red Bull Brasil.[3] He made his first team debut for Braga on 20 March of the following year, replacing Helinho in a 1–1 Campeonato Paulista home draw against Palmeiras.[4]
