For Criciúma, he was top scorer in the state in 1985 and champion in 1986 and 1989. For Grêmio, he became known as "Man Gre-Nal", due to the number of goals he scored against rival SC Internacional.[1][2][3] He was top scorer in Série C in 1992 playing for Ferroviário, and champion of Piauí twice with 4 de Julho. In 1995 he would still be champion in Amazonas with Nacional.[4]
