Club career
Having started his career with Cruzeiro, Cristian joined Thai side Phuket in 2013, following an agreement between the two clubs.{{cite web|url=http://www.thephuketnews.com/brazilian-stars-for-phuket-fc-40090.php |title=Brazilian stars for Phuket FC |date=13 June 2013 |accessdate=6 May 2017 |work=The Phuket News}} After an impressive 18 goals in 40 games,{{cite web|url=http://www.fc-gifu.com/information/17286 |title=クリスチャン選手、完全移籍加入のお知らせ |date=6 February 2017 |accessdate=6 May 2017 |work=FC Gifu |language=Japanese}} he transferred to Portuguese side Marítimo in early 2015.{{cite web|url=http://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-nos/maritimo/detalhe/cristian-alex-vai-assinar-928148.html |title=Cristian Alex Vai Assinar |date=29 January 2015 |accessdate=6 May 2017 |work=Record |language=Portuguese}} He failed to impress during his time with the Primeira Liga side, and left the same year to return to Brazil. He played for Bragantino for one game, before being offered a contract with Turkish side Boluspor.{{cite web|url=http://bolusporluyuz.com/haber/sol-kanat-ondan-sorulacak-kampa-katilmasi-bekleniyor |title=Sol Kanat Ondan Sorulacak Kampa Katilmasi Bekleni̇yor |date=5 January 2016 |accessdate=6 May 2017 |work=Boluspor |language=Turkish}}
