Football career
Early career
Wellingsson played for some Campeonato Brasileiro Série A football team youth squads before, such as Associação Atlética Ponte Preta, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista and Associação Desportiva São Caetano.
South China
When Souza was 20 years old, Hong Kong League champion South China signed him as a youth squad player, with the hope that he will be able to represent Hong Kong national football team after 7 years.
Souza played in South China reserve team at the beginning. His debut match for the first team was against Sun Hei on 2 February 2010 when he substituted Kwok Kin Pong at the 86th minute.
On 7 March 2010, in the match against Fourway Rangers, Souza substituted Hinson Leung at 69' and scored at 88'. This was Wellingsson de Souza's first goal in Hong Kong First Division League, and helped South China to win the match 5-2.
During the summer of 2011, he had joined Partizan for a try-out[1] having played four friendly games with the main team,[2] but he returned to South China's training camp in South Korea.
On 10 Apr 2012, he terminated the contract with South China.
Yuen Long
On 17 June 2013, Wellingsson joined newly promoted Hong Kong First Division club Yuen Long for free after being unattached for a year.[3] On 31 August 2013, Souza netted a brace on his debut for Yuen Long; the match finished 2-2.
