Career

Born in Janiópolis, Brazil. Elvis started his career at Paraná Clube, with a one-year spell at Botafogo.[1] He was quickly signed by Benfica on 12 January 2011, on a three and half year contract.[2]

After six months without competing, he joined União Leiria in Primeira Liga on a year-long loan deal.[3] In a good individual year, Elvis played 27 games, with 2 goals, however, Leiria was in financial crisis, so he terminated his loan contract for unpaid salaries on 28 April 2012.[4]

For the following seasons, he was assigned to the reactivated Benfica B, making his debut in a 6–0 win against of Belenenses.[5] He did not have enough playing time, so he opt-out of his remaining contract and signed with Tombense in the Série D.[1]

At Tombense, Elvis was first loaned to América Mineiro, but returned the following year to help the small town team win their first ever promotion to the Série C.[1] His performances led to a move to Botafogo in 2015, winning the Taça Guanaraba at Fogão.[6][1]

Botafogo opted not to renew his contract and he signed with Criciúma on 6 January 2016.[7] He finished 2016 at Figueirense,[8] and continued his journeyman career at Red Bull Brasil on a four-month contract.[9] In April 2017, he signed with Clube de Regatas Brasil, playing in Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.[10]

gollark: Can it do scrölling nicely?
gollark: Hmm, this "shapescape" thing is extremely impressive. I did not think you could actually practically make UIs like that in CC.
gollark: efficiency™
gollark: "Everyone" is the set of all people who exist. You are a person and exist, as far as I know, so you're a member of that, so you should insult yourself.
gollark: It's probably one of those "effectively impossible because there are too many options" problems.
