Club career

Santos

Born in Tianguá, Ceará, Anderson joined Santos' youth setup in October 2012, aged 13.[1] On 27 July 2018, he signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a deal until June 2021.[2]

Anderson made his senior debut with the B-team on 8 August 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 5–2 away win against Bragantino, for the year's Copa Paulista.[3] He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 21 November, replacing goalscorer Rodrygo in a 1–1 home draw against Botafogo.[4]

On 29 November 2018, Anderson suffered a knee injury, being sidelined for eight months.[5] He returned to action in May 2019,[6] but spent the remainder of that year with the youth setup.

In June 2020, Anderson was promoted to the main squad by manager Jesualdo Ferreira,[7] and renewed until 2023 on 18 July.[8] On 19 November, after receiving little playing time, he moved to CRB on loan until the end of the season.[9]
