Club career
Adi was born in Riachão, Maranhão.
Energie Cottbus
Adi transferred to Energie Cottbus from Austria Kärnten in the 2009 winter transfer window after scoring 10 goals in 17 games. After he was injured in his first match in the Bundesliga Adi was not able to play anymore due to a severe injury (persistent cartilage damage). After being sidelined for two years, his contract was terminated at the end of the 2010–11 season.
Concordia Chiajna
Adi went to Liga I side Concordia Chiajna to restart his career. Not being held back by knee problems, he had a great spell at Chiajna, scoring eight goals from 15 games, to help his team avoid relegation to Liga II.
Steaua București
In May 2012, Adi was brought to Steaua București by his former Concordia Chiajna manager Laurențiu Reghecampf. On 23 July, he made his first appearance for Steaua in a game against his former team Concordia Chiajna which ended in a 1–0 victory for the Bucharest team. He scored his first goal a week later against Astra Ploiești in a dramatic game that ended with the 4–3 victory of his team. On 30 August, he scored two goals against Ekranas in the Europa League play-off, to secure Steaua their presence in the group stages.
