Club career

Born in Araruna, Paraná, Vagner finished his formation with Club Athletico Paranaense after joining the club's youth system as a 15-year-old. He went on to be part of several Série A rosters with the main squad, but never appeared in any matches in the competition during his tenure.
Released in 2009, Vagner subsequently represented lowly Ituano Futebol Clube and Desportivo Brasil. In January 2010, owned by the latter, he was loaned to Portuguese side G.D. Estoril Praia, helping with 28 appearances in his second full season to help his team return to the Primeira Liga after seven years.
Under manager Marco Silva, Vagner was again an undisputed starter from 2012 to 2014, as the Canaries consecutively qualified to the UEFA Europa League. In the summer of 2015, the free agent moved the Belgian First Division A with Royal Excel Mouscron.
On 3 January 2017, Vagner returned to Portugal and its top division, being loaned to Boavista F.C. until the end of the season. For the following campaign, the move was extended.
On 6 July 2018, Vagner signed a two-year contract with Qarabağ FK. On 22 June 2020, having played no Azerbaijan Premier League games during the season for the champions, he left.
