Career

Born in São Luís, Maranhão, Ananias graduated from Bahia's youth categories, and made his professional debuts in 2008 Série B. In 2011, he was loaned to Portuguesa, in a two-year deal.[1][2]

After good performances on the club, and with Lusa being compared with Barcelona, Ananias was called Ananiesta (compared with Andrés Iniesta) by the fans.[3] In April 2012, Portuguesa bought half of his rights from Bahia.

On 29 May 2013 Ananias was loaned to Palmeiras.[4] After achieving promotion with the club he was subsequently loaned to Sport Recife and Chapecoense.
