Career

Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Ewerthon joined Sport Recife's youth setup in 2013, for the futsal team.[2] Promoted to the first team for the 2020 season, he made his senior debut on 19 January of that year, starting in a 1–1 Campeonato Pernambucano away draw against Náutico.[3]

Ewerthon made his Série A debut on 8 November 2020, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Ceará. He renewed his contract until 2024 on 12 February 2021,[4] and scored his first senior goal on 10 April, netting his team's second in a 2–2 away draw against Treze, for the season's Copa do Nordeste.[5]

On 25 June 2021, Ewerthon was loaned to Série B side CSA until the end of the year.[6] Recalled by Sport on 26 July,[7] he finished the year as a starter as they suffered relegation.

On 8 June 2023, Ewerthon further extended his contract with Leão until July 2026.[8] On 20 December, he was loaned to Juventude for the 2024 season.[9]

Ewerthon scored his first goal in the top tier of Brazilian football on 30 June 2024, but in a 2–1 away loss to Fortaleza. On 27 December, his loan was extended for a further year.[10]

On 8 January 2026, Ewerthon rescinded his contract with Sport,[11] and signed a short-term deal with Portuguesa just hours later.[12] On 4 March, he moved to Atlético Goianiense as his link was due to expire.[13]
