Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Charles Silva joined Cruzeiro's youth setup in 2009. On 22 January 2014 he moved to Vasco da Gama, being assigned to the youth team.[1]
Charles Silva was promoted to the main squad in 2015, and made his Série A debut on 3 June, coming on as a first-half substitute for Julio dos Santos in a 0–3 home loss against Ponte Preta, after starter Jordi was sent off.[2]
In 29 January 2016, Charles Silva signed a four-and-a-half-year-deal with Portuguese club Marítimo after leaving Vasco on a free transfer.[3] He would make 93 appearances for Marítimo across six seasons, including four Europa League starts during the 2017–18 qualifying rounds.
In 1 July 2021, Marítimo would send Charles to another Portuguese club F.C. Vizela. He would start 14 times during the 2021–22 Primeira Liga season, also logging one Taça de Portugal start in the fourth round of the tournament in late November against C.F. Estrela. Charles would lose his starting spot at Vizela in late December of 2021, eventually dropping out of the squad in April of 2022.
In 8 July 2022, Vizela allowed Charles to join Cypriot club Olympiakos Nicosia on a free transfer. On 27 August 2022, he would make his debut in a 1-2 loss to Anorthosis. He was subsequently dropped to the bench for their next two matches, most recently on 12 September against AEL Limassol.
