In May 1998, at the age of 20, Tininho left Brazil and Associação Portuguesa de Desportos to sign with Feyenoord in the Netherlands. In his first season with the Rotterdam team, he appeared in 28 games to help them win the Eredivisie after a six-year wait.
After a brief spell back in his country with América Futebol Clube (MG), Tininho returned to the Netherlands, where he would remain for the following five seasons always in the top flight, with RBC Roosendaal, NEC Nijmegen and ADO Den Haag. In 2007, he joined AEK Larnaca F.C. from Cyprus, playing two seasons with the club and retiring subsequently.
