Club career

Werley was born in Oliveira, Minas Gerais, and joined Atlético Mineiro's youth setup in 2002, aged 14, after starting it out at Social.[1] He made his senior debuts while on loan at América-RJ, appearing sparingly in 2008 Campeonato Carioca.

After a loan stint at fellow Rio de Janeiro's club Boavista, Werley was definitely promoted to the main squad by manager Emerson Leão. He made his first team debut on 15 February 2009, coming on as a second half substitute for Marcos Rocha in a 1–2 away loss against fierce rivals Cruzeiro for the Campeonato Mineiro championship.[2]

Werley made his Série A debut on 9 May, starting in a 2–2 away draw against Avaí.[3] He scored his first goal on 6 October 2010, netting his side's first in a 2–1 home win against Corinthians.[4]

On 1 March 2012 Werley was loaned to Grêmio, until December.[5] On 29 June, after being a regular starter, he definitely joined the club, after being involved in Victor's transfer to Atlético.[6] He was a regular starter during the following campaigns, but lost his starting spot after the arrival of Pedro Geromel in 2014.

On 18 January 2015 Werley moved to Santos, in a season-long loan deal.[7] A starter during the whole Campeonato Paulista, he lost his starting spot in August, being overtaken by Gustavo Henrique.[8]

On 23 December 2016 Werley moved to Coritiba.[9]
