ABC won its 49th state league championship in its history and the player himself finished the tournament as top scorer that season. Wallyson was also a major contributor to ABC's promotion to [Serie B](/source/Brazilian_Serie_B) (Brazil's national second division) making the tie-breaking goal in the last match of ABC in the competition against [Bragantino](/source/Bragantino), which ensured the team promotion. He was considered one of the main highlights of the [Serie C](/source/Brazilian_Serie_C). Due to his success, he was linked to Atlético Paranaense.[1] ### Atlético Paranaense In 2008, he was traded to [Atletico Paranaense](/source/Clube_Atletico_Paranaense). In this year, Wallyson made his debut in [Serie A](/source/Brazilian_Serie_A), however, he suffered with several injuries and failed to have a major impact in his first season with his new club. But in 2009, he won the [Campeonato Paranaense](/source/Campeonato_Paranaense), being elected the breakthrough player of this competition. ### Cruzeiro On July 29, 2010 the player was presented to [Cruzeiro](/source/Cruzeiro_Esporte_Clube). He was signed from a proxy club [Deportivo Maldonado](/source/Deportivo_Maldonado) on loan until 2013. Cruzeiro would receive 30% transfer fee if Wallyson was successfully sold.[2] The team debut took place on August 22, in a loss to [Vitória](/source/Esporte_Clube_Vitoria) in a game for the Serie A. On 15 September he scored his first goal for the team in a victory over the [Guarani](/source/Guarani_FC), for 4–2. He played mostly as a substitute in his first year at Cruzeiro. In 2011, Wallyson was promoted to the first team, and finished as Cruzeiro's top scorer at [Copa Santander Libertadores](/source/Copa_Santander_Libertadores), with 7 goals. He scored two goals in the two final matches of the [Campeonato Mineiro](/source/Campeonato_Mineiro) against biggest rivals [Atlético Mineiro](/source/Atl%C3%A9tico_Mineiro), which was his third State League title in career. ### São Paulo On January 11, 2013, [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_FC) confirmed Wallyson had signed and was to join the squad. The player signed contract until December.[3] In May 2013, however, after the elimination of [*Tricolor*](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_FC) in [State League](/source/2013_Campeonato_Paulista) and [Libertadores Cup](/source/2013_Copa_Libertadores), the player was released, by president Juvenal Juvêncio and coach [Ney Franco](/source/Ney_Franco).[4] ### Botafogo On January 22, 2014, Wallyson was signed by [Botafogo](/source/Botafogo_de_Futebol_e_Regatas).[5] He remained at the club until the end of the season. ### Coritiba On March 6, 2015, Wallyson joined [Coritiba](/source/Coritiba_Foot_Ball_Club).[6] ### CRB On 1 February 2019, Wallyson signed for [Clube de Regatas Brasil](/source/Clube_de_Regatas_Brasil).[7][8] ### ABC At the end of May 2019, he returned to [ABC](/source/ABC_Futebol_Clube).[9] ## Honours ****[ABC](/source/ABC_FC)**** - [Campeonato Potiguar](/source/Campeonato_Potiguar): 2007 ****[Atlético Paranaense](/source/Atl%C3%A9tico_Paranaense)**** - [Campeonato Paranaense](/source/Campeonato_Paranaense): 2009 ****[Cruzeiro](/source/Cruzeiro_Esporte_Clube)**** - [Campeonato Mineiro](/source/Campeonato_Mineiro): 2011 ### Individual - Campeonato Potiguar Top Scorer: 2007 - Campeonato Paranaense Breakthrough Player: 2009 - Copa Santander Libertadores Top Scorer: 2011 ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["ABC divulga nota oficial sobre o caso Wallyson"](http://www.furacao.com/materia.php?cod=22238). www.furacao.com. 21 May 2007.
