Club career

edit

Taiberson was born in Alegrete, Rio Grande do Sul, and was an Atlético Paranaense youth graduate. On 11 July 2012, he made his first team debut, coming on as a late substitute for Marcelo Cirino in a 1–0 home win against Ipatinga for the Série B championship.

On 1 March 2013, Taiberson was loaned to América-RN until the end of the year.[1] On 30 April, however, he returned to his parent club.[2]

In April 2014, Taiberson was demoted by Furacão,[3] and subsequently joined Internacional, club he already represented as a youth. Initially assigned to the under-23s, he made his first team – and Série A – debut on 9 November, replacing Nilmar in a 1–4 away loss against fierce rivals Grêmio.[4]

On 29 November 2014, Taiberson scored his first professional goal, netting the first in a 3–1 home win against Palmeiras.[5] On 18 December, he extended his contract for a further three seasons.[6]

On 4 January 2016, Taiberson was loaned to fellow league team Ponte Preta, until December.[7]

On 7 January 2020, Taiberson joined USL Championship side Rio Grande Valley FC.[8]
