On 29 November 2018, Anderson Ceará 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 Ceará 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]
