Career

After progressing on Santos' youth categories, Adriano made his professional debut against Paraná in a 1–0 home victory on November 11, 2006. After 18 minutes on the field, he was sent off with two yellow cards.^[1]

On 20 January 2008, Adriano made a performance in a Campeonato Paulista home draw against Palmeiras, marking Jorge Valdivia tightly, and "switching off" the opposition player.^[2]

In 2009, Adriano was loaned to São Caetano.^[3]

He then returned to Santos in the end of 2010, and in 2011 Copa Libertadores, he became an important first team player,^[4] after marking Alejandro Martinuccio (Peñarol's most important player).^[5]

Adriano was expected to be a first team player in 2011 FIFA Club World Cup, but he picked up an ankle injury (which needs a surgery) and cannot be registered.^[6]

In June 2014, Adriano was loaned by Grêmio to Vitória until the end of the season.
