Football career

Patrick was born in Muriaé, Minas Gerais, spending the better part of his career with modest Brazilian clubs. In January 2005, he signed a two-year contract with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, but was also loaned during that timeframe to Fortaleza Esporte Clube; in his country's Série A, other than those two teams, he also represented Guarani Futebol Clube.

In the 2007–08 season, Patrick had his first abroad experience, signing with U.D. Leiria from the Portuguese Primeira Liga. He played 13 times in his first year, but the side suffered relegation to the second division.

At age 32, Patrick returned to his homeland, seeing out his career two years later after spells in the regional leagues with Ituano Futebol Clube, Nacional Esporte Clube (MG) and Nacional Atlético Clube (Muriaé). He died on 25 April 2016 in São Paulo at the age of 35, from a brain aneurysm.[1]
