Late career

In 2005 Athirson was signed by Bayer Leverkusen, but was released after two years, along with fellow Brazilian defender Roque Junior. He then signed a six months contract with Botafogo. [4] but his contract was terminated on 4 October 2007, after just playing only seven times for the club. [5]

He signed a one-year contract with Brasiliense on 22 February 2008, then signed for Portuguesa in September 2008. On 26 April 2009 the left-back signed for Cruzeiro on a free transfer until December. [6]

He had received an offer from America-RJ after his contract with Portuguesa expired on 31 December 2010.

He was a member of the Brazil under-20 squad which won the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship.

Style of play

Usually an attacking left back or wing-back, Athirson could also play on the left wing, and as an attacking midfielder.
