Club career

Born in Central de Minas, Minas Gerais, Wallisson began his career with local side União Luziense [pt] in 2015. He moved to Holanda later in the year, appearing for the club in the 2015 Copa Amazonas.^[1]

Wallison played for the under-20 side of Holanda during the 2016 season, as the club did not have a senior squad active. He represented Portuguesa-RJ in 2017, also in the under-20 category.

In November 2017, Wallisson was included in Democrata's squad for the 2018 Campeonato Mineiro.^[2] He was subsequently loaned to Ponte Nova [pt], before returning to Democrata in January 2019.^[3]

On 7 May 2019, Wallisson was presented at Volta Redonda,^[4] on loan from Serra Macaense. He signed a permanent deal with Voltaço on 7 October,^[5] and was regularly used afterwards.

On 11 January 2022, after a short period at Nova Venécia (where he won the Copa Espírito Santo), Wallisson signed for Athletic-MG.^[6] On 12 April, he moved to Série B side Ponte Preta.^[7]

On 4 August 2022, after already becoming a starter for Ponte, Wallisson renewed his contract with the club until 2027.^[8] In December, however, he terminated his link after alleging unpaid wages.^[9]

On 20 December 2022, Wallisson was announced at newly-promoted to Série A side Cruzeiro.^[10] The following 28 August, recently-promoted to Primeira Liga club Moreirense announced the signing of Wallisson on a four-year contract.^[11]

On 5 January 2024, after having failed to establish himself as a starter for Moreirense, Wallisson returned to Brazil, signing for recently-promoted to Série C side Athletic-MG.^[12]
