After starting out at Sporting CP, he went on to play professionally in Belgium, Hungary and Malta, notably winning the 2014–15 Belgian Pro League with Gent while totalling 181 appearances. [2]

Club career

Sporting CP

Born in Camacan, Bahia, Neto started his career with Academia Catarinense de Futebol, a small club based in Santa Catarina where he was spotted by Sporting CP at the age of 16, [3] [4] going on to be part of the latter's junior teams that won three national championships in a row. [5]

Neto made his debut for the Lions' main squad on 24 May 2009, featuring four minutes in a 3–1 home win over C.D. Nacional after replacing his compatriot Derlei. [6] His second Primeira Liga appearance came one year later, against Leixões SC (one minute played). [7]

After graduating from Sporting's academy, Neto was loaned to Cercle Brugge K.S.V. in Belgium alongside teammate Nuno Reis. [8] In his only full season in the Pro League, he scored four goals in 36 matches (32 starts) as the side finished in ninth position. [9]

In late December 2011, as Sporting were facing an injury crisis in midfield, Neto was recalled by the club's manager Domingos Paciência. [10] [11] He scored his only league goal on 22 April 2012, in the 3–2 victory at C.D. Nacional where he was replaced at half-time by Stijn Schaars. [12]

Neto was loaned again in summer 2012, now to Hungary's Videoton FC. [13] He left for K.A.A. Gent in the following transfer window, also on loan. [14] [15]

Gent

Gent acquired Neto on a permanent basis for the 2014–15 campaign. [16] On 21 May 2015, through a penalty kick, he was one of two players on target as his team defeated Standard Liège 2–0 at home to be crowned champions for the first time in their history. [17]

Neto nearly completed a transfer to newly-promoted Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion in 2017, but failed a medical. [18] He missed the entire 2017–18 due to a serious knee injury. [19] [20]

Later career

On 20 May 2019, Neto joined K.V. Oostende on a one-year contract. [21] He then represented in quick succession K.M.S.K. Deinze (Belgian Challenger Pro League), [22] [23] Sirens F.C. (Maltese Premier League) [24] and KSC Blankenberge, [25] achieving promotion with the amateurs to the Belgian Division 3 in 2023. [26]
