Career

Santos

Born in Santos, São Paulo, Serginho joined the youth categories of hometown side Santos FC in 2001, aged ten. During his period in the youth sides, he was a defensive midfielder or a right-back,[1] and also played with Neymar.[2]

After being an unused substitute in a 4–0 Campeonato Paulista away win over Rio Branco-SP, Serginho made his senior debut on 20 January 2010, replacing injured George Lucas but being himself replaced by Madson in a 1–1 home draw against Ponte Preta for the same competition. [3][4] It was his maiden appearance at the club.

Red Bull Brasil (loan)

In April 2010, Serginho moved on loan to Red Bull Brasil in the Campeonato Paulista Série A3. He scored on his debut, netting the opener in a 2–1 home win over Penapolense,[5] and helped the side to win the state championship before returning to Peixe, where he was assigned to the under-23 team.

Oeste

After starting the 2011 season on loan at Oeste, Serginho subsequently rescinded his contract with Santos in the middle of the year and joined Oeste on a permanent deal afterwards.[4] After moving to a forward position, he was the top scorer of the club in the 2012 Série C, netting six goals as the Rubrão achieved promotion as champions.[6]

Serginho continued with his goalscoring form in the 2013 Campeonato Paulista, being again Oeste's top scorer as they avoided relegation.

Loan to Palmeiras

On 24 April 2013, Serginho moved to fellow Série B side Palmeiras on a one-year loan deal, with a buyout clause.[7] He made his club debut on 4 June, replacing Vinícius in a 2–1 home win over Avaí, and scored his first goal on 12 July, netting the fourth in a 4–1 home routing of ABC.[1]

A backup option, Serginho scored five goals in 20 league appearances for Verdão in the 2013 Série B, as they returned to the top tier at first attempt. He made his Série A debut on 26 April 2014, replacing Josimar in a 1–0 home loss to Fluminense.[8]

In May 2014, however, Serginho returned to Oeste after an agreement for a loan extension was not reached.[9]

Kairat

On 18 March 2015, Serginho signed a three-year contract with Kazakhstan Premier League side FC Kairat.[10] He made his debut abroad on 5 April, in a 4–0 home routing of FC Okzhetpes, and scored his first goal on 5 July, in a 5–0 away thrashing of FC Shakhter Karagandy.

Ceará

In January 2016, Serginho returned to Brazil, signing a one-year contract with Ceará in the second division.[11][12] He failed to establish himself as a first-choice, only starting in five matches during the 2016 Série B.

Matsumoto Yamaga

On 11 January 2017, J2 League side Matsumoto Yamaga announced the signing of Serginho.[13] Regularly used, he scored a career-best 11 goals in the 2018 season, as the club achieved promotion to the J1 League.

On 7 February 2021, Yamaga announced that Serginho had left the club at the end of the 2020 season, as his contract expired.[14]

Daegu FC

On 26 February 2021, Matsumoto Yamaga announced that Serginho had joined K League 1 side Daegu FC.[15] He featured in 13 league matches before departing the club on 18 June, due to "family reasons".

Paysandu

On 25 February 2022, Serginho returned to his home country after more than five years abroad, and signed for Paysandu in the Série C.[18] Despite featuring regularly, he agreed to leave the club on 3 October.[19]

Maringá
