Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Clayton joined Figueirense's youth setup in 2007, aged 12.[1] On 3 November 2012 he made his first team – and Série A – debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 away loss against Flamengo.[2]

After appearing with the under-20s, Cleyton was definitely promoted to the main squad in 2014. On 3 August 2014 he scored his first professional goal, netting the second in a 3–0 home win against Sport Recife.[3]

On 28 September Cleyton netted a brace in a 3–1 home success over Palmeiras.[4] He finished the campaign with 22 appearances and five goals, as his side avoided relegation.

Clayton scored seven league goals during the 2015 season, including a brace against Flamengo, as his side again narrowly avoided the drop. He finished the year with 17 goals in 56 matches.

On 23 February 2016, Clayton moved to fellow league team Atlético Mineiro.[5]

On 23 March 2017, Clayton was loaned to Corinthians until the end of the season, but returned to Atlético in August.[6]

On 10 August 2018, Clayton joined Bahia on a year-long loan.[7] He returned to Atlético in August 2019, before joining Vasco da Gama on loan for the remainder of that year.[8]

On 25 June 2020, Clayton mutually terminated his contract with Atlético.[9]
