Early life

Named after the character from the Sergio Leone spaghetti western Once Upon a Time in the West, Chay was born in Maceió, Alagoas, and moved to Niterói, Rio de Janeiro at the age of 4. Upon arriving at the new city, he started a treatment for a number of allergies, and started in futsal after a recommendation from a doctor. [1]

Club career

Chay began his senior career with Canto do Rio in 2008, playing in the Campeonato Carioca Série C, [2] before joining Bonsucesso, where he featured mainly for the under-20 side. He then moved abroad to Thailand in 2009, where he notably scored 17 goals in the 2011 Thai Division 1 League for Songkhla.

In late 2011, back to Brazil during a holiday period, Chay was hit by a stray bullet. [1] In 2013, Chay switched to Malaysia and signed for Kedah FA, but was allegedly "unsettled" at the club; [3] he later returned to his home country and started to play seven-a-side football, featuring for the likes of Fluminense, Flamengo and Botafogo. In 2018, he was called up to the Brazil seven-a-side national team, winning the Copa América de Seleções and being named the best seven-a-side player in South America. [1]

Chay also returned to association football in 2017, with Bela Vista. [4] On 15 January 2018, he moved to Mogi Mirim, [5] but left the club after nine goalless appearances and signed for São Gonçalo EC  [ pt ] on 22 May. [6]

On 16 January 2019, Chay was announced as new signing of Rio Branco-AC. [7] He returned to the Rio de Janeiro state on 23 April, after agreeing to a contract with America-RJ. [8]

Chay moved to Portuguesa-RJ for the 2020 season, [9] being a regular starter in the club's Campeonato Carioca and Série D campaigns. He was a spotlight in the 2021 Carioca after scoring five times in only thirteen matches. [10]

On 25 May 2021, Chay was announced at Série B side Botafogo, [11] on loan until the end of the year. On 31 August, after scoring eight goals, he signed a permanent deal with the club until 2024; Portuguesa retained 50% of his economic rights. [12]
