Club career

Born in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Wanderson represented Internacional as a youth. He made his debut as a senior with Francana, in 2011.

In 2012 Wanderson moved to Montes Claros EC,[1] but returned to the São Paulo state shortly after, joining Sertãozinho. After impressing with the latter in 2013 Campeonato Paulista Série A3, he signed for Corinthians.[2]

Wanderson remained at Timão for nearly a year, but failed to make a single appearance for the club, and on 18 August 2014 moved to Treze.[3] In November, he agreed to a contract with São Bento ahead of 2015 Campeonato Paulista.[4]

On 28 April 2015 Wanderson joined Série B club Criciúma.[5] An undisputed starter for the club, he scored three goals in 33 appearances before moving to Ferroviária on 15 December.[6]

On 16 May 2016 Wanderson moved to Série A club Atlético Paranaense.[7] He made his top tier debut on 1 June, coming on as a substitute for Cleberson in a 0–1 away loss against former club Internacional.[8]
