Wellington Pereira Rodrigues (born 4 January 1986), commonly known as Gum, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Fluminense as a central defender.

Club career

Born in São Paulo, Gum was a Marília youth graduate. He made his first team debut in 2005, with the side in Série B, and also had an unassuming loan spell at Osvaldo Cruz back in 2004.[1]

On 13 September 2016 Gum was loaned to Série A club Internacional, until July.[2] After making no league appearances, he rescinded his contract and returned to MAC.[3]

On 26 June 2008 Gum signed a five-year deal with fellow second tier club Ponte Preta,[4] who acquired 50% of his federative rights.[5] He was an immediate starter for the club after his arrival, impressing in the following year's Campeonato Paulista.

On 17 August 2009 Gum joined Fluminense in the top level.[6] He made his debut in the category thirteen days later, in a 0–2 away loss against Santos.[7]

Gum scored his first goals in the main category of Brazilian football on 18 October 2009, netting a brace in a 2–2 home draw against Internacional.[8] He finished the campaign with 16 appearances and three goals, as his side narrowly avoided relegation.

Gum was also an important unit during the club's 2009 Copa Sudamericana run, scoring a goal against Cerro Porteño which granted the qualification to the finals;[9] he also scored the last goal in a 3–0 home win against LDU Quito in the second leg, as his side finished second (4–5 on aggregate).[10]

Gum was a first-choice during Flu's 2010 Brasileirão winning campaign, partnering with Leandro Euzébio and becoming the best defense of the championship. He was also an undisputed starter in 2012, winning another title.

In January 2015 Gum signed a new four-year deal with Fluminense.[11] In his last game of the season, he scored the first in a 3–1 home win against Avaí; it was also his 300th for the club.[12]
