Wéverton Gomes Souza, simply known as Wéverton (born 8 March 1992), is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Maltese club Pembroke Athleta as a forward.[1]

Club career

Born in Três Lagoas, Wéverton graduated from Londrina's youth setup, and made his first-team debut on 25 January 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–0 home routing against Paranavaí, for the Campeonato Paranaense championship.[2] He scored his first goal on 20 January of the following year, netting his side's last of a 4–2 home success against Toledo CW, also in the State Leagues.[3]

On 19 August 2013, after being tracked by Corinthians[4] and Palmeiras in the previous months,[5] Wéverton left Londrina and joined Série B side América Mineiro.[6] He made his debut for Coelho late in the month, starting in a 0–2 home loss against Joinville.[7]

Wéverton finished the campaign with eleven appearances, and after finding his chances limited in 2014, he moved to Portuguesa.[8] After appearing sparingly for the latter (which eventually suffered relegation), he returned to Londrina on 20 November 2014.[9]
