Gladstone Pereira della Valentina (born 29 January 1985), known simply as Gladstone, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Vitória-ES as a centre back.

Club career

Born in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo, Gladstone started playing professionally with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube at the age of 18. From then onwards he started a series of consecutive loans, starting in the 2005–06 season in Italy: first with Juventus FC and, after no appearances, with Hellas Verona FC, but the former club chose not to activate the pre-set price of 2 million,[1] one of the reasons being the impending 2006 Italian football scandal; he subsequently returned to Cruzeiro, signing a new three-year deal.

In 2007–08, Gladstone was loaned out again, this time to Sporting CP,[2] where he rarely played due to the presence of compatriot Ânderson Polga and Tonel.[3] Mainly used as a late substitute, he still managed to score once, in a 4–1 Primeira Liga home win against Associação Naval 1º de Maio;[4] after the campaign finished and he helped his team finish second, he closed the year with another loan, at Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras.[5]

Gladstone moved on 19 January 2009, still owned by Cruzeiro, to Clube Náutico Capibaribe.[6][7] On 13 February of the following year his contract with the Belo Horizonte side expired, and he returned to Europe, signing for three years with FC Vaslui in Romania.[8]

From 2013 and until his retirement, save for one year back in the Portuguese top division with Gil Vicente FC,[9] Gladstone competed exclusively in the Brazilian lower leagues.

International career

Gladstone was a member of the Brazil under-20 squad at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, taking home the bronze medal.[10] On 15 November 2006, he was called up to the full side as an injury replacement for the friendly match with Switzerland, but did not make his debut.[11]

On 6 September 2007, Gladstone was again picked by manager Dunga for the games against Mexico and the United States, but did not receive any playing time as well.[12]
