Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Clayton joined Figueirense's youth setup in 2007, aged 12.[1] On 3 November 2012 he made his first team – and Série A – debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 away loss against Flamengo.[2]

After appearing with the under-20s, Cleyton was definitely promoted to the main squad in 2014. On 3 August 2014 he scored his first professional goal, netting the second in a 3–0 home win against Sport Recife.[3]

On 28 September Cleyton netted a brace in a 3–1 home success over Palmeiras.[4] He finished the campaign with 22 appearances and five goals, as his side avoided relegation.

Clayton scored seven league goals during the 2015 season, including a brace against Flamengo, as his side again narrowly avoided the drop. He finished the year with 17 goals in 56 matches.

On 23 February 2016, Clayton moved to fellow league team Atlético Mineiro.[5]

On 23 March 2017, Clayton was loaned to Corinthians until the end of the season, but returned to Atlético in August.[6]

On 10 August 2018, Clayton joined Bahia on a year-long loan.[7] He returned to Atlético in August 2019, before joining Vasco da Gama on loan for the remainder of that year.[8]

On 25 June 2020, Clayton mutually terminated his contract with Atlético.[9]

gollark: What makes them better than the advertising companies then?
gollark: I am leaving off the second half so as not to fill more than a screen or so.
gollark: No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
gollark: Oh, wait, better idea.
gollark: Hey, I *said* (GNU[+/])Linux, isn't that good enough for you, Stallman?!
