Cristiano enjoyed a seven-year spell at Kashiwa, scoring 93 goals for the side. Ahead of the 2022 season, he moved to V-Varen Nagasaki.

On 5 August 2023, Cristiano was returned to Ventforet Kofu on loan until the end of the year.[5] He scored his first goal for Ventforet against Mito HollyHock on 30 of September 2023.[6]
