Club career
Early career
Born in Salvador, Bahia, Cléber began his career in 2017, when invited to play for Icasa after impressing in a seven-a-side football tournament.[1] After just two matches for the club, he moved to Barbalha, where he helped the club in their promotion to the second division of the Campeonato Cearense as champions.[1]
Cléber was loaned to Guarani de Juazeiro for the 2018 Cearense, but appeared rarely and returned to Barbalha, where he was the top scorer of the second division as his club achieved another promotion as champions. On 18 May of that year, he renewed his contract with Barbalha until 2021,[1] being subsequently loaned to Caucaia in July;[2] the move was later declared void as he joined Vitória instead, also in a temporary deal.[3]
Initially assigned to the under-23s, Cléber made his first team debut for Vitória on 15 January 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Eron in a 1–1 away draw against CSA, for the year's Copa do Nordeste.[4] After only four appearances for the club, he left and represented Caucaia, Concórdia and Guarany de Sobral, all on loan from Barbalha; with the first two he achieved promotion to the first division of their respective state championships, while being crowned champions with the former.
Ceará
Returning to Barbalha for 2020, Cléber scored seven goals in the year's Cearense, which led to a move to Série A side Ceará on 9 March 2020; he agreed to a three-year contract with the club.[5] At the club, he immediately became a starter and scored in both legs of the 2020 Copa do Nordeste Finals, helping Vozão to win the trophy unbeaten during the whole competition.[6]
Cléber made his debut in the top tier on 7 August 2020, starting and scoring his team's first in a 3–2 away loss against Sport Recife.[7]
