Ed Carlos de Arruda Amorim (born 19 March 2001), known as Ed Carlos, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Betim, on loan from Santos.

Career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Born in São Paulo, Ed Carlos joined São Paulo's youth setup in 2015, after representing São Caetano and Portuguesa.[1] In October 2018, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2001 worldwide.[2]

On 30 June 2021, after nearly eight years at the club, he left as his contract expired.[3]

Santos[edit]

On 3 August 2021, Ed Carlos signed for Santos, being initially assigned to the under-20 squad.[4] Despite impressing in the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he trained separately[5] until being involved with the main squad only in July 2022 by interim manager Marcelo Fernandes.[6]

Ed Carlos made his first team – and Série A – on 1 October 2022, coming on as a late substitute for Carlos Sánchez in a 1–0 away loss against Internacional.[7] Late in the month, after being a starter in the previous matches, he suffered a shoulder injury which kept him out for the remainder of the season.[8]

On 14 February 2023, Ed Carlos renewed his contract with Santos until June 2026.[9] On 4 July, he was separated from the first team squad by head coach Paulo Turra,[10] but returned to first team trainings on 8 August, after Turra was sacked.[11]

Loan to Betim[edit]

On 19 April 2024, after spending the first months of the season separated from the first team squad, Ed Carlos was loaned to Betim for the year's Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II.[12]
