Club career

Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Clayton played amateur football before initially joining Serranense in January 2019. In March, however, after never signing a deal with the club, he moved to Lajeadense, and initially played for the under-20 side before making his first team debut later in the year.

On 19 December 2019, Clayton was presented at Juventude, after a partnership with Lajeadense was established.[1] He appeared rarely before moving to Série D side Guarany de Sobral the following September,[2] where he was a regular starter.

Ahead of the 2021 season, Clayton signed for Globo, and helped his side to win the Campeonato Potiguar by scoring ten goals. On 29 June of that year, he joined Vila Nova in the Série B.[3]

Clayton featured regularly for Vila, and renewed his contract until 2024 on 18 February 2022.[4] Just hours later, Série A side Coritiba announced his signing on a loan deal until December.[5]

On 26 July 2022, Clayton moved abroad for the first time in his career, after signing a one-year loan deal with Primeira Liga newcomers Casa Pia.[6]
