Athirson was released by Bayer Leverkusen along with Roque Junior. He then signed a six months contract with Botafogo.[4] but his contract was terminated on 4 October 2007, after just playing only seven times for the club.[5]

He signed a one-year contract with Brasiliense on 22 February 2008, then signed for Portuguesa in September 2008. On 26 April 2009 the left-back signed for Cruzeiro on a free transfer until December.[6]

He had received an offer from America-RJ after his contract with Portuguesa expired on 31 December 2010. In 2011, he signed for Duque de Caxias to play at Campeonato Brasileiro Série B but was released during the competition.
