Club Career

Early career

Born in Porto Feliz, Sao Paulo, De Camargo moved to Belgium in November 2000, after making his senior debut with local side Estrela Esporte Clube. He joined KRC Genk after impressing on a trial, but was only promoted to the first team in 2001 after spending six months with the B-side.

De Camargo only made his senior debut on 20 October 2001, coming on as a late substitute for Moumouni Dagano in a 4–2 home win against KFC Lommel SK. He scored his first goal for the side the following 12 January, netting his team's fifth in a 6–1 away defeat of KSK Beveren.

After featuring rarely during the 2002–03 season (which included 11 minutes in a 6–0 loss at Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League), De Camargo was loaned to newly-promoted side K. Beringen-Heusden-Zolder in June 2003 for the coming season.

De Camargo scored ten goals for the side during the campaign; highlights included a brace in a 3–1 home win against RSC Charleroi on 4 April 2004. Upon returning to Genk, he featured sparingly before moving to fellow top tier side FC Molenbeek Brussels Strombeek in January 2005.

Standard Liege

In late January 2006, De Camargo agreed to a contract with Standard Liege, still in the top division. He made his debut for the club on 11 February in a 2–0 away defeat of KSK Beveren, and scored his first goal the following weekend in a 7–1 home win against Cercle Brugge KSV.

De Camargo was a regular starter during the following campaigns, being a key member of the attack as Standard won two league titles in a row. In January 2009, he signed a new contract until June 2013.

On 16 September 2009, De Camargo captained the side in a 3–2 home loss against Arsenal.
