Club career
Marília
Born in São Paulo, Gum was a Marília youth graduate. He made his first team debut in 2005, with the side in Série B, and also had an unassuming loan spell at Osvaldo Cruz back in 2004.[1]
On 13 September 2006 Gum was loaned to Série A club Internacional, until July.[2] The following March, after making no league appearances, he rescinded his contract and returned to MAC.[3]
Ponte Preta
On 26 June 2008 Gum signed a five-year deal with fellow second tier club Ponte Preta,[4] who acquired 50% of his federative rights.[5] He was an immediate starter for the club after his arrival, impressing in the following year's Campeonato Paulista.
Fluminense
On 17 August 2009 Gum joined Fluminense in the top flight.[6] He made his debut in the league thirteen days later, in a 2-0 away defeat to Santos.[7]
Gum scored his first goals in the top flight of Brazilian football on 18 October 2009, netting a brace in a 2–2 home draw against Internacional.[8] He finished the campaign with 16 appearances and three goals, as his side narrowly avoided relegation.
Gum was also an important unit during the club's 2009 Copa Sudamericana run, scoring a goal against Cerro Porteño which secured qualification to the final;[9] he also scored the final goal in a 3–0 home win against LDU Quito in the second leg, as his side finished runners up (5-4 on aggregate).[10]
Gum was a first-choice during Flu's 2010 Brasileirão winning campaign, partnering Leandro Euzébio to form the best defence in the league. He was also an undisputed starter in 2012, winning another title.
In January 2015 Gum signed a new four-year deal with Fluminense.[11] In his last game of the season, he scored the first in a 3–1 home win against Avaí; it was also his 300th appearance for the club.[12]
Chapecoense
In March 2019, Gum moved to Chapecoense.[13]
