Club career

edit

Born in Aracaju, Sergipe, Tom graduated from Portuguesa's youth categories, and was promoted to the first-team squad in 2011, acting initially as a backup to Wéverton, Lúcio and Bruno; he remained as a third-choice for the following year.

Tom made his first-team debut on 24 March 2013, starting in a 1–1 draw at Santacruzense for the Paulista Série A2 championship.[1] However, he only appeared in a further more match during the winning campaign, and in the year's Brasileirão, he was again third-choice.

In 2014, Tom was promoted to second-choice goalkeeper, only behind Glédson; he made his professional debut on 9 February 2014, coming on in the 18th minute of a 4–0 home routing over Linense, as the latter suffered an injury.[2]

On 23 November 2015 Tom was released.[3]
