During his career, the Brazilian defender played for such teams as Portuguesa, where he began his football career, XV de Piracicaba, Uniao Barbarense, Vitoria Guimaraes, Terek Grozny and Wisła Kraków. Since his debut in July 2006 he played 118 matches for the White Star, scoring 13 goals in total. As the player mentioned on numerous occasions, he and his family found a new home in Kraków.

What are his fondest memories from the time spent in the club? „The two goals I scored in the 3:0 match against Cracovia and my goal against Barcelona, the atmosphere, the supporters, my friends in the locker room. I will remember all that very fondly” – said Cleber.

Cleber is leaving the game but not the club. The player will now be working as a scout for the club from Reymonta 22 street. As a scout, Cleber will be watching players from the Polish league as well as from foreign leagues. „As I am starting a new, more responsible job, I hope to have the same support as always” – said Cleber.
