Club career

Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Wendel was a Náutico youth graduate. In April 2019, he and another 12 teammates were loaned to América-PE for the 2019 Série D.[1]

After featuring rarely, Wendel signed for Serranense for the 2020 season,[2] but was only an unused substitute before returning to his native state and joining Vera Cruz. He won the 2020 Campeonato Pernambucano Série A2 with the side, and avoided relegation in the 2021 Campeonato Pernambucano.

Wendel subsequently moved to Falcon and won the 2021 Campeonato Sergipano Série A2 with the club. He was confirmed at the side for the 2022 season,[3] but featured in only one match before signing for Passo Fundo in April of that year.[4]

In September 2022, Wendel was included in Centro Oeste's squad for the upcoming Campeonato Goiano Terceira Divisão.[5] On 27 December, he was announced at Série B side Londrina.[6]

On 2 May 2023, Portuguesa announced the signing of Wendel until the end of the season.[7]
