Club career

edit

During his youth career, Elías played for Atlético Mineiro before being released. He then played for low-tier clubs in Brazil such as Democrata, Patrocinense and Trabalhadore.[2]

In January 2023, Elías joined Vietnamese side Viettel and signed his first professional contract there.[2][3] In his only season with the club, he scored 2 goals in the Vietnamese Cup games but failed to net any goal in the V.League 1 and was therefore released at the end of the season.[4][5]

On 2 November 2023, Elías signed for V.League 1 fellow Hanoi Police.[5][6] On 12 May 2024, he scored his first hat-trick at professional level to help his team win 3–1 against Khánh Hòa in a league game.[7]

On 8 September 2024, Elías moved to Hoang Anh Gia Lai.[8]
