Club career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Edu made his senior debut with São Gonçalo Esporte Clube in 2012. He then signed for Flamengo in the following year, but only featured for the under-20s before moving to São Gonçalo Futebol Clube.[1]
On 7 October 2014, after being São Gonçalo's top goalscorer in the year's Campeonato Carioca Série C, Edu signed for Boavista.[2] He returned to SGFC after playing rarely in the 2015 Campeonato Carioca, and scored a further seven times for the club before joining Itaboraí on 10 July 2015.[3]
On 21 September 2017, after scoring prolifically for Itaboraí, Edu agreed to a pre-contract deal with Brusque for the Copa Santa Catarina.[4] The following 28 March, after featuring sparingly, he returned to his previous club.[5]
On 18 October 2018, Edu signed for Nova Iguaçu,[6] but moved out on loan to Atlético Tubarão on 22 February of the following year.[7] On 29 December 2019, he returned to Brusque after signing a deal until April 2021.[8]
In August 2020, after becoming an undisputed starter, Edu suffered a knee injury,[9] and was sidelined for the remainder of the campaign, which ended in promotion to the Série B. On 17 April 2021, he renewed his contract until November 2022.[10]
On 15 October 2021, during a match against Remo, Edu missed a penalty, scored one goal and subsequently played as a goalkeeper after Ruan Carneiro was taken off due to an injury; he also saved a penalty late in the match.[11] He finished the league as top scorer with 17 goals, as his side narrowly avoided relegation.
On 9 December 2021, Edu joined fellow second division side Cruzeiro.[12] After being a starter during the season as the club achieved promotion to the Série A, he was loaned to Emirati club Dibba Al Fujairah until June.[13]
On 6 July 2023, Edu returned to his home country after signing a contract with Coritiba in the top tier, until the end of 2024.[14]
