Club career

[edit]

Santos

[edit]

Born in Santo André, São Paulo, Tailson joined Santos' youth setup at the age of nine; in 2014 he left to join Mauaense, but returned to the club in 2015.[2] After appearing in the 2019 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he was called up to the first team by manager Jorge Sampaoli.[1]

On 19 April 2019, Tailson left the club after his contract expired.[3] On 5 August, however, after being linked to FC Barcelona,[4] he signed a professional deal with the club.[5]

Tailson made his first team – and Série A – debut on 5 October 2019, starting and scoring the winner in a 1–0 away defeat of Vasco da Gama.[6]

Loans

[edit]

On 12 March 2021, Tailson joined recently relegated side Coritiba on loan for the 2021 campaign.[7] He struggled to make an impact during his spell at the club, and was sent back to his parent club in July.[8]

On 9 August 2021, Tailson moved to Náutico also in the second division, on loan until December.[9] He returned to Santos for the 2022 season, but featured rarely.

On 1 February 2023, Tailson was loaned to Ferroviária until July.[10] On 9 June, he moved to fellow Série D team Retrô also in a temporary deal.[11] His loan was renewed for the Campeonato Pernambucano on 10 January 2024.[12]

On 7 June 2024, Tailson rescinded his contract with Santos one month before its expiration.[13]

Politehnica Iași

[edit]

In July 2024, Tailson signed a contract with Romanian club Politehnica Iași.
