Cleyton Alexandre Henrique Silva (born 8 March 1983) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
Career
Cleyton is one of few footballers in Greece to have a dual passport, one of Brazilian and one of Greek which he received on 13 November 2009, after spending seven years in Greece, making him eligible to gain Greek citizenship. On 19 September 2004, he made his debut in the Super League Greece in a 1–0 home of his club (Apollon Kalamarias) win against OFI Crete.
AEL
In the 2006–07 season Cleyton helped AEL reach the Greek cup final and win it. He was the club's top scorer in European competitions in the 2007–08 season, including goals against Blackburn Rovers and Everton.
Panathinaikos
Cleyton signed for Panathinaikos[1] in the summer of 2008 for a fee of €1,700,000.
Cleyton started the 2011–12 season well, scoring very important goals for the greens such as a direct free kick against PAOK and a fantastic overhead kick against Levadiakos.
Dinamo Zagreb
On 22 January 2014, Cleyton signed for Dinamo Zagreb after his former Kayserispor manager Robert Prosinečki recommended him to the club.[2] On 28 March 2014, it was reported by the club that the two parties had mutually agreed to terminate the player's contract as a result of misconduct not tolerated by the club.[3] Croatian media reported that Cleyton provoked and engaged in a fight at a Zagreb night club in the early morning hours of 27 March 2014 while heavily under the influence of alcohol.[4]
Skoda Xanthi
On 2 September 2014, Cleyton signed a one-year contract for Xanthi for an undisclosed fee.[5] On 20 September 2014, he made his debut with the club in a 2–0 home win against Levadiakos.
On 29 April 2015, Xanthi succeeded to reach the Greek Cup final for the first time in its history after a 0–0 draw with Iraklis. Cleyton Silva has twice won the Greek Cup, one with AEL in 2007 and one with Panathinaikos in 2010.[6]
On 3 May 2015 in a 0–0 home draw against Asteras Tripoli where he lost a penalty Cleyton reached 200 appearances in Greek Super League.[7]
Elazığspor and Göztepe
On 7 August 2015, despite numerous offer from Greek clubs, Cleyton decided to continue his career in Turkey signing a two years' contract for TFF First League club Elazığspor for an undisclosed fee.[8] Due to financial problems, and after the first half of the season, Cleyton decided to return to Greece to play for Iraklis, that seemed to be the proper club to continue his career.
Cleyton, who was a transfer target of Atromitos and Iraklis, chose to remain in Turkey and continue his career at Göztepe. The 33-year-old former player of Panathinaikos was then released by Elazigspor, but selected not to return in Greece, where he has spent the biggest part of his career.[9]
Omonia Nicosia
On 18 June 2016, Cleyton signed a contract with Cypriot club Omonia Nicosia.[10] He appeared in 41 games and scored 10 goals. On 26 May 2017 the club announced that Cleyton was released under a mutual agreement with the footballer.[11]
Return to Turkey
On 5 July 2017, Cleyton signed a one-year contract with TFF First League club Ümraniyespor for an undisclosed fee.[12]
Iraklis
On 7 September 2018, Cleyton joined Iraklis of the Football League on a free transfer.[13]
