Club career

[edit]

Born in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Cassius started his career with São Paulo at the age of ten.[1] He was subsequently released, and joined Portuguesa in 2011.[2]

Cassius was promoted to Lusa's main squad in 2013 by manager Péricles Chamusca, aged only 17. However, he failed to make a single appearance during the year, as his side suffered relegation from Série A.

In 2014, Cassius suffered a severe knee injury which kept him sidelined for one year. After again being not used, he left the club and joined Santos, in a one-year loan deal on 14 January 2016.[3]

Cassius left Santos in the end of the year, without playing a single minute for either the first team or the B-side. In May 2017 he joined URT, and made his senior debut on 21 May by coming on as a second-half substitute for Allan Dias in a 3–0 Série D away loss against Portuguesa-RJ.

On 15 December 2017, Cassius joined Grêmio Anápolis.[4] The following 6 August, after being sparingly used, he moved abroad and joined Moldovan National Division side FC Zimbru Chișinău on a one-and-a-half-year contract.[5]

On 5 March 2019, Cassius switched teams and countries again, signing for Amora FC in the Campeonato de Portugal.[6] After a spell at Anapolina, Cassius joined Albanian club KF Vllaznia Shkodër on 26 August 2020.[7] However, only two months later, he left the club and moved to FC Sfântul Gheorghe Suruceni in Moldova.[8] He left Sfântul Gheorghe in early January 2021.[9]
