Career
Born in Araranguá, Santa Catarina,[1] Carlos Eduardo was a Criciúma youth graduate. He made his first team debut on 9 April 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ricardinho in a 5–0 Campeonato Catarinense home routing of Camboriú.[2]
Carlos Eduardo became a regular starter for Criciúma only in the 2019 season, but suffered a clavicle injury in October of that year, being sidelined for nearly a month.[3] He left the club in January 2020, after failing to agree new terms, and signed for Atlético Tubarão on 2 October of that year.[4]
On 28 January 2021, Carlos Eduardo moved to Hercílio Luz.[5] Rarely used, he moved abroad in October 2022 to join Banga Gargždai in Lithuania; at his new club, he scored on his debut, a 2–2 away draw against Riteriai.[6]
After becoming a first-choice, Carlos Eduardo renewed his contract with Banga on 7 February 2024.[7] On 15 July, however, he moved to fellow league team TransINVEST.[8]
On 10 June 2025, Carlos Eduardo returned to his home country after signing for Portuguesa.[9]
