Career

Veloso was born in Pedro Leopoldo. During his youth, he played for Atlético Mineiro in Belo Horizonte. His prosperous background gave him quite a wealthy youth. After playing a few years in the Atlético Mineiro reserve squad, he moved to the Netherlands with his wife Bruna Cypriano Veloso in January 2008. He signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Willem II Tilburg. For the first half a year, he did not play for the senior squad because he had adaptation problems. He made his professional debut on August 30, 2008 in a 2–1 home win against Ajax.

In February 2010, he signed with Romanian side CFR Cluj. In January 2012, he joined Ukrainian side Chornomorets.
