Ludogorets Razgrad
Choco went through the youth academy of Santos Futebol Clube. On 7 January 2011, he moved from Santos to Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad, signing a three and a half-year contract and becoming the team's first foreign signing of the Domuschiev era.
Choco scored his first goal for Ludogorets on 15 October 2011, netting the second goal in a 4–1 home win over Minyor Pernik. He was primarily a starter during the 2011–12 season, being a key part of Petev's team that won its first top division title, but made only very sporadic appearances over the course of the 2012–13 championship. He continued to feature only on rare occasions during the 2013–14 (though he did play a part in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League group stage, appearing in three of their victories) and 2014–15 campaigns (not being registered for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League group stage). Choco left the team by mutual consent at the end of November 2014. He stated that Ludogorets will always remain in his heart.
Following his release from Ludogorets, Choco attracted interest from the Kazakhstan Premier League, but eventually he didn't complete any move there.
