Club career

After representing America-RJ and RS Futebol as a youth, Rio de Janeiro-born Camilo made his senior debut with Marília in 2006.[1]

On 5 May 2008, after scoring five goals in the year's Campeonato Paulista, Camilo signed a three-year deal with Série A club Cruzeiro.[2] He made his debut for the club on 4 September, coming on as a substitute for Ramires in a 3–1 away win against Vasco da Gama.[3]

In May 2009 Camilo was loaned to fellow top tier club Grêmio Barueri,[4] but had his loan cancelled early the following month. Another loan move to Primeira Liga side C.S. Marítimo followed,[5] but the deal collapsed and on 26 August he was announced at Santo André, on a loan deal until the end of the year.[6]

Camilo subsequently served loans at Ceará[7] and América Mineiro[8] before leaving Cruzeiro in 2011, after his contract expired. He subsequently signed for Nanchang Hengyuan in the Chinese Super League,[9] but returned to Brazil on 19 January 2012 after joining Botafogo-SP.[10]

On 12 August 2012, Camilo was presented at Avaí.[11] After being sparingly used, he moved to Mirassol the following 12 December;[12] with the latter he scored seven goals in only 18 matches during the 2013 Paulistão, including one in a 6–2 home routing of Palmeiras.[13]

On 27 May 2013 Camilo joined Sport,[14] contributing with three goals as his side achieved a top tier promotion. On 7 January of the following year, however, he returned to Botafogo-SP.[15]

In April 2014, Camilo signed a short-term deal with Chapecoense for their first season in the main category.[16] He became a mainstay in the club's midfield, and renewed his contract for a further year on 15 December.[17]

On 24 September 2015, Camilo scored Chape's first international goal, netting the opener in a 1–1 away draw against Libertad.[18] In December, he moved abroad for the first time in his career after signing for Al-Shabab.[19]

In May 2016, Camilo rescinded with Al-Shabab, stating a desire to return to his homeland.[20] Linked to his former club Chapecoense, he signed a three-year contract with Botafogo late in the month.[21]

On 19 July 2017, Camilo transferred to Internacional.[22] On 28 May 2019, he rescinded his contract,[23] and returned to Chape two days later.

International career

On 19 January 2017, Camilo was called up by Tite for a friendly against Colombia.[24] He made his full international debut six days later, replacing goalscorer Dudu in the 1–0 win at the Engenhão in his hometown.[25]
