Édson Júnior came through the youth ranks with Goiás before transferring to Atlético Goianiense in time for the 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B season. He played twice as a substitute, making his debut against Avaí on 8 October 2016, and scoring his first goal against Sampaio Corrêa on 19 November 2016.
