Menezes has spent his first five years as a professional in the Campeonato Paulista. He began his youth career with local club Mogi Mirim. Upon turning professional with that club, Menezes played first team football for the next three years, leaving the club in 2005 for another São Paulo club: União São João. After a season with the Macaws, he then joined São Carlos where he again played first-team football.
After an already lengthy career in his home country, Menezes opted for the United States, signing for the Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer on June 30, 2007.[1] He was upgraded from the developmental to the senior roster early in the 2008 season, but was waived on May 7.
