Club career

Born in São Paulo, Rildo played amateur football in his home city until joining Fernandópolis in 2009, helping the club in Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão.[1] In the following year, he moved to Ferroviária, but was rarely used.

In January 2011, Rildo signed with Vitória.[2] On 30 July he was sent off in a 0–1 home loss against Boa Esporte, after trying to kick the referee.[3]

On 6 June 2012 Rildo signed with Ponte Preta, for a R$300,000 fee.[4] He made his Série A debut on the 24th, in a 2–1 away win over Botafogo.[5] He scored his first top flight goal on 10 October, in a 2–1 home win over Náutico.[6]

On 31 January 2014 Rildo joined Santos in a one-year loan deal.[7] He appeared in 22 league matches for the club, scoring one goal, but Peixe opted to not sign him permanently.

On 3 July 2015, Rildo joined fellow top level club Corinthians in a loan deal until December 2016.[8]

On 1 January 2017, Rildo signed with Coritiba.[9] In March 2019, after a period with Vasco da Gama, he moved to Chapecoense.[10]

Rildo subsequently played for Daegu FC, Avaí, Paysandu, São Caetano and Taubaté before retiring in 2023.
