Club career

Edson was born in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, and was an Alecrim youth graduate. He made his first team debut on 19 April 2015, five days shy of his 18th birthday, by coming on as a half-time substitute in a 2–1 Campeonato Potiguar home win against Santa Cruz.

In March 2017, Edson moved to Vitória on loan, returning to the youth setup.[1] He subsequently played for the under-20 squad of Votuporanguense[2] before returning to his parent club for the 2018 season, where he featured sparingly in the year's Campeonato Potiguar.

Ahead of the 2019 campaign, Edson moved to Globo, being mainly utilized as a right back.[3] In April of that year, he agreed to a one-year deal with Bahia, being initially assigned to the under-23 squad.[4]

On 29 May 2020, after winning the 2020 Campeonato Baiano with the under-23 squad, Edson renewed his contract until December 2021, and was definitely promoted to the main squad.[5] He made his Série A debut on 3 September, replacing Elton late into a 3–5 home loss against Flamengo.[6]
