Welthon Fiel Sampaio (born 21 June 1992) is a Brazilian professional footballer who currently plays as a forward for Hong Kong Premier League club Kitchee.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Belém, Welthon played once in the Campeonato Paraense for hometown club Tuna Luso in 2010 before moving to Atlético Goianense.[1] Though he never took to the pitch in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A for the team, he played twice in their Campeonato Goiano win in 2011.

In November 2012, Welthon moved to Grêmio Anápolis in the same state.[2] The following July, he was loaned to Braga, a Portuguese club partnered with his employer.[3] His loan at the reserve team from the Segunda Liga ended in January 2014.[4]

In June 2016, Welthon returned to Portugal with Primeira Liga club Paços de Ferreira.[5] He finished his first season in the top flight with 11 goals, joint-seventh best in the league;[6] this included braces in home and away wins over Vitória FC.[7][8] He was also top scorer of the season's Taça da Liga with four, in braces against Nacional and Vizela.[9][10]

On 23 January 2018, Welthon transferred to neighbours Vitória SC on a four-year deal, with a release clause of €30 million.[11] After six goalless games, his season ended with three matches to go due to a left thigh injury in training.[12] He scored his only goal for the team on 5 March 2019, the sole one of a home win over Marítimo.[13]

On 2 September 2019, Welthon returned to Paços on a season-long loan, after Ivo Vieira demoted him to Vitória's reserves.[14] In November, he suffered a right knee injury in a win over Tondela,[15] and played only once again thereafter.

Welthon was named as a surplus player on Vitória's squad for 2020–21.[16] He made a substitute appearance for the B-team in the third tier on 14 February 2021, his first game in 13 months.[17]

On 25 July 2024, Welthon joined Hong Kong Premier League club Kitchee.[18]
