Contents

An Ajax academy product, he debuted for Ajax in the 2010–11 Eredivisie. During the first two seasons, despite his young age, he established himself as a regular starter and contributed significantly for two championships. However, his playing time dropped significantly in his third season, so in January 2013 Ebecilio leaves Ajax. He starts his journey abroad in Eastern Europe, first in Ukraine with Metalurh Donetsk, next with Azerbeijani club Gabala, before establishing himself in Russia where he spent almost three years playing with Mordovia Saransk and Anzhi Makhachkala. During the winter-break of the 2016–17 season Ebecilio left Russia and joined Cypriot side APOEL. Ebecilio spent two seasons with the Cypriot side, where he was a key player, scoring 11 times in 58 appearances.

In June 2018, Ebecilio signed a two-year contract with Serbian club Red Star Belgrade. From July 2019 until February 2020, he played for J1 League club Jubilo Iwata.

Internationally, Ebecilio represented the Netherlands at U17, U19 and U21 levels.

Club career

Early years

Ebecilio started his career with VV de Blokkers, an amateur club from Hoorn. [3] He would later play in the youth teams of HVV Hollandia and AZ. [3]

On 27 October 2005, several months following the death of his father, the fourteen-year-old Ebecilio had a heart attack and had to have a defibrillator surgically implanted. [4] He was forced to leave AZ due to these health concerns, and the player returned to HVV Hollandia. [3] He no longer has any problems related to his heart following the surgery. [4] Ajax subsequently offered him a place in their youth academy.

Ajax

At Ajax, Ebecilio played for Jong Ajax under manager Frank de Boer. On 12 December 2010, six days after the departure of Martin Jol and the installation of De Boer as caretaker manager, Ebecilio made his debut in the first team of Ajax, being in the starting line-up in an away victory over Vitesse Arnhem. [5] The player also appeared in the starting line-up in the last game of 2010, in a 1–0 victory over former club AZ, playing the full 90 minutes. [6] He was named man-of-the-match in the game against his former club. [4]

2011 began much like 2010 had ended, with the player being in the starting line-up for the league matches against Feyenoord, FC Utrecht, NAC Breda, and De Graafschap. [7] [8] [9] [10] On 17 February 2011, Ebecilio made his European debut in the 3–0 Europa League away victory over Anderlecht. [11] Ebecilio participated in most of Ajax matches during the second half of the season, ultimately leading to the Dutch league championship. Ebecilio also appeared in the KNVB Cup final against FC Twente. Ajax lost the final with 3–2, despite one goal of Ebecilio. On 4 March 2012, Ebecilio scored his first hat-trick for Ajax in a 4–1 win over Roda JC. [12]

The 2012–13 season saw Ebecilio receiving much less playing time. On 2 January 2013, Marc Overmars announced the transfer of Ebecilio to Ukrainian club Metalurh Donetsk on a three-year contract, for a sum of €500,000. [13] [14]

Loan to Gabala

On 5 June 2013, it was announced that Ebecilio had signed a one-year loan deal with Azerbaijan Premier League team Gabala.

[16] His first goal for Gabala came in his fifth game, a 3–2 home victory over Inter Baku on 31 August 2013. [17]

Loan to Mordovia Saransk

Following the end of his Gabala contract, Ebecilio followed Ibrahima Niasse and Yuri Semin to Mordovia Saransk, by joining the club on trial. [18] On 24 July 2014, Ebecilio joined Mordovia Saransk on a season-long loan deal.

Red Star Belgrade

On 29 June 2018, Ebecilio signed a two-year deal with Red Star Belgrade with an option for a one-year extension.
