Gilsinho's father was an amateur footballer who encouraged him and his brother to take up the sport.

Gilsinho would decide to go abroad and joined recently promoted Chinese Super League side Wuhan Guanggu where he quickly became a regular and helped guide them to a fifth-place finish as well as winning the 2005 Chinese Super League Cup with them. For the next several seasons he continued to be a vital member of the team until another Chinese club in Henan Jianye looked to sign him to help out in their attack, however after staying with them for a whole season he was only able to score two goals and was allowed to leave. This saw Gilsinho go back to Brazil where he would go back to his old clubs Taubaté, São Bento and Taubaté again where he played alongside his brother for a short time before deciding to retire.
