Born in Brasilia, Brazil, Hilton started his professional career in 1996 at Chapecoense and stayed there for three years before moving to Paraná Clube.

Throughout his two-season career at Servette, Hilton made 57 appearance and scoring twice in all competition. Hilton scored his first league goal, on 28 September 2003, in a 3–1 win over Zürich. In January transfer window 2004, Hilton joined Ligue 1 side Bastia on six-month loan, which lasted until the end of the season. Hilton played his first game in Ligue 1, on 7 February 2004, in a 1–0 victory over Toulouse. On 1 May 2004, Hilton received a straight red card, in a 4–0 loss against Rennes. Upon return to Servette, Hilton left the club, citing the club's financial problem.
After a loan spell at Bastia, Hilton joined Lens on a five-year contract. Hilton made his debut, on the opening game of the season, in a 0–0 draw against Toulouse and several weeks later, on 21 August 2004, Hilton scored his first goal in Ligue 1, in a 2–0 win over Istres. Then thirty-two days later, on 22 September 2004, Hilton scored his second goal, in a 2–2 draw against Paris Saint-Germain.
