Club career

Born in Petrolina, Pernambuco, Petrolina only played lower league football in his country. In 2010 the 24-year old moved to Portugal where he would spend the vast majority of his professional career, starting out at C.D. Trofense in the Segunda Liga.

For the 2011–12 season, Petrolina signed with Primeira Liga club S.C. Beira-Mar. He made his debut in the competition on 14 August 2011, starting and playing 80 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against C.S. Marítimo.[1] His first goal in the competition arrived two weeks later, when he helped to a 3–0 away win over Vitória de Guimarães.[2]

On 5 July 2014, after one year in Hungary with Videoton FC where he scored eight goals from 35 competitive appearances, Petrolina signed a two-year contract with F.C. Arouca also in the Portuguese top division.[3] In late January 2016, however, he joined fellow league team Moreirense FC.[4]
