Club career
Born in São Vicente, São Paulo, Wesley was a Santos youth graduate. On 14 February 2010, after helping the under-20 side finish runner-up in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior,[1] he made his debut with the main squad by starting in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista home win against Rio Claro.[2]
Ahead of the 2011 season, Wesley was loaned to Campeonato Paulista Série A3 side Sport Barueri. After featuring sparingly, he returned to Peixe and made his Série A debut on 17 July of that year, starting in a 2–1 home defeat of Atlético Mineiro.[3]
Wesley failed to make any further appearances for the club, being subsequently loaned to Rio Verde[4] and Portuguesa Santista for the 2012 campaign. On 17 May 2013, he joined Jabaquara after his contract with Santos expired.[5]
Wesley signed for Guarany de Sobral for the 2014 season, but was released on 15 August.[6] He also represented CENE[7] before returning to Jabaquara in 2016.
In June 2016, Wesley agreed to a move to American club Las Vegas City FC,[8] but the move never materialized. In September, he agreed to a deal with FC Cubillas in the Spanish Primera Andaluza.[9]
