Early career

Born in São Luís, Maranhão, Sousa began his career at his hometown team Moto Club's youth setup before moving to Palmeiras in 2005, aged 15. Released by the club in the following year, he subsequently joined Nacional's under-20 squad after a trial period. Sent back to Brazil in the middle of 2008 to nurse an injury, Sousa never returned to Nacional. In 2009, he returned to Moto Club and made his senior debut on 19 February, starting in a 2–1 Campeonato Maranhense away loss against São José; his first goal for the club came on 23 April, in a 2–2 draw against the same opponent. On 13 November 2009, Sousa joined Operário, and made his debut for the club the following 17 January, by starting in a 1–0 home win against Cascavel CR, for the year's Campeonato Paranaense. He scored his first goal for the club on 31 March, netting his team's second in a 2–2 home draw against the same opponent, but was released in April after scoring only two goals.

In July 2010, Sousa moved abroad for the second time, again to Portugal, joining Leixões of the Liga de Honra. He made his professional debut on 8 August, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Trofense, for the season's Taça da Liga; his first goal abroad occurred on 10 November, in a 2–1 loss at Paços de Ferreira, also for the league cup.
