Career

edit

Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Elias was a youth product of hometown side Sport Recife. He made his first team debut on 3 April 2017, starting in a 2–2 Campeonato Pernambucano home draw against Salgueiro, as the club lined up mainly youth players.[1]

Elias subsequently returned to the youth sides, being rarely used in the main squad, and renewed his contract until 2022 on 25 March 2019.[2] On 23 May, however, he was loaned to Athletico Paranaense as a part of the deal which saw Éder move in the opposite direction.[3]

Elias returned to Sport in May 2020,[4] but was loaned to Botafogo-PB on 4 November.[5] The following 25 May, he moved to Santo André also in a temporary deal.[6]

On 10 March 2022, Elias returned to Belo again on loan.[7] A regular starter, he moved to fellow league team Figueirense on 10 December,[8] where he was also a first-choice.

Elias joined Primavera ahead of the 2024 season,[9] before being loaned to Série B side Vila Nova on 2 April of that year.[10]
