Club career

Early career

Born in Porecatu, Paraná, Vanderlei made his senior debuts for locals Londrina in 2004. In 2006 he moved to Olímpia, appearing with the side in that year's Copa Paulista.

Vanderlei joined Paranavaí in January 2007. An undisputed starter for the side, he appeared in 24 matches as his side were champions of Campeonato Paranaense; he also kept two clean sheets in the final matches against Paraná.[1]

Coritiba

On 8 May 2007 Vanderlei signed with Série B side Coritiba. He made his debut for the club four days later, starting in a 3–1 home win against Paulista.[2] However, after the arrival of Édson Bastos, he acted mainly as a backup and appeared in only one further match, as his side returned to Série A after a three-year absence.

In mid-2008, after proffiting from Bastos' injury, Vanderlei was handed a starting spot, which lasted until the former's return. He played his 100th match for the club on 2 October 2011, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Figueirense.[3]

Vanderlei and Bastos shared spells as starters in the following campaigns. The latter left the club in 2012, and he was definitely appointed as the club's first-choice; he appeared in his 200th match for Coxa on 28 March 2013, in a 1–1 draw against Nacional.[4]

On 30 November 2014 Vanderlei played his 300th match for Coxa, making several key stops in a 2–1 home win against Atlético Mineiro.[5] He appeared in all league matches during the season as his side narrowly avoided relegation.

Vanderlei left Coritiba with 301 official appearances, being the eight with more appearances for the club overall.[6]

Santos

On 23 January 2015 Vanderlei moved to fellow top level side Santos, after agreeing to a three-year contract.[7][8] He made his debut for his new club on 8 February, starting in a 2–1 home win against Red Bull Brasil.

On 27 March 2015, Vanderlei suffered a facial injury in a 1–3 away loss against Ponte Preta, after colliding with Rildo.[9] He subsequently underwent surgery,[10] and was sidelined for three months, eventually losing his first-choice status to Vladimir.

After Vladimir's poor form, Vanderlei was again chosen as a first-choice in a 1–3 home loss against Grêmio.[11] He finished the year as an undisputed starter, contributing with 28 league appearances.
