At the Belém-side, Sol was a regular starter in a squad, alongside players like, Pedro Cary, Paulinho, Marcelinho and Marcão, that took part in the club most successful period in recent history, reaching two playoffs finals against Benfica, plus two Portuguese Cup finals, winning one, and losing another.[3]
On 8 August 2010, he moved to Benfica, representing them for three years, winning four titles, including the Portuguese league on his second year.[4] On 30 June 2013, Sol, together with César Paulo and Davi, were released by the club,[5] spending six months without club, until he joined Lokomotiv Kharkiv in January 2014, helping them win a second consecutive league.[1]
