Career

Opportunistic and skilled, Hamilton started his career at Sport, but was unable to find a place. While still young, he played for Penedense and CSE in Alagoas, until he tried his luck in football in São Paulo with EC São Bento. A highlight of the team in the 1985 Campeonato Paulista, he was signed by Portuguesa the following season, making 35 appearances. [1] In 1987 he was state champion with Cruzeiro, a team that made 202 appearances and scored 67 goals, [2] forming an attacking partnership with another Hamilton (de Souza, better known as Careca). He was top scorer in the Minas Gerais championship in 1988, and later in 1993, playing for América Mineiro. [3] He also had an impressive spell at SC Internacional and Pachuca.

Hamilton ended his career in 1995 after suffering a stroke. The player had no consequences, but at the request of his family he abandoned football. In 2022 and 2023, he managed the Cruzeiro EC U17 team. [4]
