Career

Fluminense

Toró started his career in the futsal area of Fluminense Rio de Janeiro . This is where he earned his nickname (Toró means storm in Portuguese) because like a storm he scored one goal after the other. At FLU he made the leap into the professional squad in 2004. The then sixteen-year-old was considered a future playmaker like Pelé due to his achievements , but could not meet these expectations.

Flamengo

In early 2006, Toró moved to local rivals Flamengo Rio de Janeiro . In his first season with the club, he came to eighteen appearances in the championship, ten of them in the starting line-up. Curiously, it was only used in the two finals when FLA won the Copa do Brasil for the second time . 2007 Toró was no longer considered under coach Ney Franco . It was only after Joel Santana took office for Franco in July that he was reinstated.

At Flamengo, Toró made his international club debut. With the club he started in the Copa Libertadores 2008 . There was an incident in his fourth game, a home game against Nacional Montevideo . He was so angry at a slow act by a ball girl that he pushed her. Thereupon the referee pronounced a dismissal.

In the course of winning the fifth championship of FLA in 2009 played 22 of 38 possible games, 17 of them in the starting line-up (no goals). After the 2010 season Toró left Flamengo after unsuccessful contract negotiations.

Change in Brazil

As a new club, Atlético Mineiro , with whom he signed a three-year contract in December 2010. After he only came to sporadic missions, Atlético released him from further game operations on August 25, 2011. For the next season, Toró was therefore loaned to Figueirense FC .

For the 2013 season, Toró was confirmed on January 10, 2013 as a new reinforcement for the EC Bahia . Atletico had agreed to loan it to the Bahia team for free by the end of the year. The clubs briefly announced that Toró will permanently move to Bahia.

Change abroad

After Toró hardly ever played at Bahia, he was given up again at the end of the year. He left Brazil for Japan , where he signed a contract with SC Sagamihara . With this he should compete in the J3 League .

At the beginning of 2016, Toró went back to Brazil to host the Goiás state championship . He came to Anapolis FC on loan until May . In the final of the state championship, Anapolis was defeated by the Goiás EC . After returning to Sagamihara, he was used until the end of the season in November. Then he went back to Brazil. Here he had already signed a contract with Goiás EC in June 2016 . With the Goiás , he reached the final of the 2017 state championship, which he won this time, as in 2016 with Anapolis. At the end of the season Toró left the club again. He was without a contract until July 2018, when Sagamihara signed him again until the end of the year.

In February 2019 Toró moved to Finland to Helsingfors IFK in the first division . At the beginning of August 2019, the contract was extended until the end of the 2020 season. Toró played his first league game for the club on April 6, 2019 against Seinäjoen JK . In the match, Toró was in the starting line-up.
