Club career

Born in Goiânia, Evaldo was a youth player for Goiás, is a Brazilian sports club,
He started his career with Xiamen Lanshi before to moving on to other clubs such as Uniao Bandeirante, Caldense, America RJ and Joinville. Joinville was later disbanded after relegated from Serie C in 2008 and Evaldo switched to V-League at that time.
When Evaldo joined HAGL in 2009, he was regarded as cover for another Brazilian striker Agostinho, who had been the club's main scorer since 2008. Nevertheless, Agostinho was suddenly fired due to a conflict with Lee Nguyen, a new signing at that point of time. The departure of Agostinho meant HAGL had no more choice but Evaldo in forward position. When the chances came, he made it to score 11 goals in V-League 2009 and some of them were extremely important ones.
After a successful season, at least for himself, Evaldo decided to bring his whole family to Vietnam in order to focus more on his job. Regarding his contribution since the beginning of 2010 season, HAGL board are understandably happy, not only because of his goals but also his professional behaviour. He is becoming a new symbol of the club on Central Highland.
