Club career

edit

Born in Eldorado do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Wagner had failed trials at both Internacional and Grêmio. After making his debuts as a senior with Santo Ângelo in 2011, he went on to appear with Três Passos, Tupy, São José-PA and Cruzeiro, all in his native state, aside from playing for a number of amateur clubs.[1]

With Cruzeiro, Wagner impressed during 2015 Campeonato Gaúcho.[2] On 29 April of that year he signed a contract with Série A side Chapecoense.[3]

Wagner made his debut in the main category of Brazilian football on 24 May 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ananias in a 1–0 home win against Santos.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 19 August 2015, netting the first in a 1–1 Copa Sudamericana away draw against Ponte Preta; it was also Chape's first goal in a continental competition.[5]
