Wellington Carlos da Silva

Wellington Carlos da Silva is a Brazilian footballer born on October 5, 1987, in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. He has played for several top-tier clubs across Romania, Cyprus, and Portugal.

After beginning his career with Sertãozinho in his home country, Wellington moved abroad to sign with Romanian club Concordia on June 27, 2012. During his time at Concordia, he experienced racial abuse during a match against Rapid București in September 2014, when a fan threw a banana at him. However, the incident was resolved when the fan apologized and Wellington promised to give him a signed jersey as a gesture of goodwill.

In April 2015, it was announced that Wellington had demanded an early termination of his contract with Concordia so he could return to Brazil for treatment of an injury. He officially terminated his contract on April 29, 2015, after spending three seasons with the club and scoring 19 goals during that time.

Wellington then moved to Pandurii in June 2015, signing a one-year deal with the Romanian club. Although he scored only a single goal for Pandurii, he soon switched clubs again, this time moving to Cypriot club AEL Limassol on May 9, 2016. He played for AEL Limassol until January 31, 2017.

Following his stint with AEL Limassol, Wellington joined Portuguese club Feirense in January 2017. This marked the final leg of his international football career, which has seen him play for top-tier clubs across Romania, Cyprus, and Portugal.

Throughout his career, Wellington has represented Brazil as a striker and has played for several prominent clubs in Romania, Cyprus, and Portugal. He is currently living and continues to be involved in Brazilian sports.
