Club career

Criciúma

Born in Rio de Janeiro, [1] Wellington joined Criciúma's youth setup in 2019, from Hercílio Luz. [2] After playing in the 2020 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he was promoted to the main squad. [3]

Wellington made his first team debut on 2 February 2020, starting in a 1–1 Campeonato Carioca home draw against Marcílio Dias. [4]

Santos (loan)

In September 2020, Wellington joined Santos and was initially assigned to the B-team; [5] the loan deal until December 2021 was confirmed by Criciúma on 28 October, after Santos' transfer ban was lifted. [6] He made his first team – and Série A – debut the following 26 January, coming on as a half-time substitute for Wagner Leonardo in a 0–2 away loss against Atlético Mineiro. [7]

Wellington made his Copa Libertadores debut on 30 January 2021, just in the tournament's Final, by replacing Felipe Jonatan late into a 0–1 loss against Palmeiras. [8] He subsequently featured rarely for the first team, and spent the remainder of his loan spell with the under-20 and under-23 squads.

Almería

After returning from loan, Wellington featured rarely before signing a three-year contract with UD Almería on 26 August 2022, being assigned to the reserves in Tercera Federación. [9]

Feirense

On 21 July 2023, Liga Portugal 2 side Feirense announced the permanent signing of Wellington. [10] He only featured in two matches for the club before terminating his contract. [11]
