Macena arrived in Denmark in 2005, when he signed for the lower-division club Holbæk B&I. After one successful season in Holbæk, he moved to Danish Superliga team AC Horsens where he was the club top goalscorer on several occasions. After spending seven years in Denmark, Macena moved to Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng on 16 February 2012 for an undisclosed fee.[1]

On 11 January 2014, Macena transferred to Chinese Super League side Hangzhou Greentown.[2] In January 2015, he made the move to Thai Premier League club Buriram United.

After his contract with Chiangrai United expired at the end of 2018, Macena returned to Denmark, in order to play for a contract.[3] On 23 August 2019, it was confirmed that Macena had signed with his former club, Holbæk B&I.[4] In 2020, he returned to his native Brazil to play for lower tier club Caçadorense.[5]
