Football career

Born in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio only played lower league or amateur football in his country. In 2000 he moved to Portugal, signing with A.D. Ovarense in the Segunda Liga.

In the following years, Cláudio alternated between the second and third divisions of Portuguese football, representing mainly F.C. Vizela. In the 2010–11 season, he contributed with 23 games and one goal as Gil Vicente F.C. returned to the Primeira Liga after an absence of five years. He made his debut in the competition on 12 August 2011, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 home draw against S.L. Benfica;[1] he scored a career-best eight goals – mostly through penalties[2][3][4]– during that campaign, helping the Barcelos-based team to the ninth position.

Following his release from Gil Vicente in the summer of 2013,[5] Cláudio signed for second level club Académico de Viseu FC on a one-year deal.[6]
