Club career
=Grêmio=
Born in Aracaju, Sergipe, Thiego started his career at Sergipe's youth setup, and impressed enough to secure a move to Grêmio in 2006.
Initially assigned to the under-20s, Thiego was promoted to the first team the following year; known as Willian Thiego, he only used the last name due to the presence of Willian Magrão in the squad. He made his Série A debut during the campaign, contributing with 11 appearances.
On 14 June 2008 Thiego scored his top tier goal, a powerful close-range shot in a 3–0 away win against Goiás.{{cite web|url=http://www.clicrbs.com.br/clicesportes/jsp/default.jsp?tab=00003&newsID=a1973291.htm&subTab=00065&uf=1&local=1&l=&template=§ion=noticias|title=Grêmio goleia o Goiás e já é vice-líder do Brasileirão|trans-title=Grêmio thrash Goiás and already is the second-placed team in the Brasileirão|publisher=Clic RBS|language=pt|date=14 June 2008|accessdate=5 December 2016}} He would subsequently appear regularly for the club, also representing the side in 2009 Copa Libertadores.
