Club career

Treviso

Born in Jundiaí, Brazil, Reginaldo started his career with Brazilian club Campo Grande. ^[1] The club was associated with the football agency Pedrinho VRP, which helped numbers of male Brazilian footballers move to Italy. Reginaldo began his professional career with Treviso in 2001 and helped the club win promotion from the third-tier Serie C1 league to the top-flight Serie A championship (also due to the relegation of Genoa, as well as the expel of Torino and Perugia due to their financial difficulties). On 27 August 2005, Serie A club Udinese signed him outright (cash plus 50% registration rights of Dino Fava ^[2] ) from Treviso but loaning Reginaldo back to the Veneto club immediately. ^[2]

Fiorentina

Following the relegation at the end of 2005–06 Serie A season, Reginaldo moved to Serie A club ACF Fiorentina from Udinese for €1 million. ^[3] He played 27 games and scored six goals for Fiorentina during the 2006–07 Serie A season, after which he moved to league rivals Parma F.C., signing a 5-year contract. ^[4]

Parma

Parma succeeded in signing Reginaldo for a €4.5 million fee. ^[5] He was one of the forwards of the team along with Igor Budan, Cristiano Lucarelli and Bernardo Corradi. Reginaldo started most of the game, and Corradi was the second. That season Parma used a 4–3–3 or 4–5–1 formation, and Budan was the top scorer of 7 goals. Among the four goals were played along with Reginaldo.

Parma were relegated at the end of the 2007–08 Serie A season, but Reginaldo stayed with the club for the 2008–09 Serie B season. Having helped Parma win promotion for the 2009–10 Serie A, he moved to Serie A rivals A.C. Siena, signing a contract on 27 June 2009 in a co-ownership deal.

Siena

In June 2009 Siena signed Reginaldo from Parma in a co-ownership deal ^[6] for a €2.5 million fee ^[7] as well as Francesco Parravicini in a definitive deal ^[6] for €2.5 million fee, ^[8] as part of a cashless swap that Daniele Galloppa moved to Parma also in a co-ownership deal ^[6] for €5 million fee. ^[7] Reginaldo followed the team relegated to 2010–11 Serie B.

Under Antonio Conte, Reginaldo scored seven goals and won promotion back to Serie A. The co-ownership was also terminated in June 2011 as part of Galloppa and Gonçalo Brandão's deal. ^[9] Parma got the full card of Galloppa for pre-agreed €5 million fee, ^[10] while Siena got Reginaldo for pre-agreed €2.5M fee ^[10] as well as Ângelo for €2.5 million fee. ^[10]

JEF United Chiba

In March 2012, Siena announced that Reginaldo would go out on loan to Japanese club JEF United Chiba. The loan agreement was supposed to run until December 2012, but after ten games and no goals, he returned in June to Siena.

Vasco da Gama

Reginaldo returned to Brazil in June 2013 on a free transfer. After a series of disappointing performances, he was released.^{[ citation needed ]}

Return to Italy

Circa mid-2016 Reginaldo returned to Italy for Serie C club Paganese. ^[11] He was about to join Serie D club Sambenedettese in January 2016. ^[12] However, the move was blocked by a non-EU players rule of Italian Football Federation, that amateur club can only sign two non-EU players, given an application was submitted on 31 December 2015. ^[12] He obtained a resident status in Italy in February 2016, making him eligible for a European Union passport. ^{[13] [nb 1]}

On 31 July 2017, Reginaldo was signed by another Serie C club Trapani on a one-year contract. ^[14] In January 2018 he joined Serie B club Pro Vercelli. ^[15]

In July 2018, Reginaldo joined Serie C club Monza. ^[16]

On 17 July 2019, he joined Reggina. ^[17]

On 17 September 2020 he signed a 2-year contract with Catania. ^[18]

In September 2021, Reginaldo signed with Picerno. ^[19]

After two Serie C seasons with Picerno, on 7 August 2023, Reginaldo moved down to Serie D to join newly-promoted club Real Casalnuovo. ^[20]
