Club career

Early career

Born in Belmonte, Bahia,[1] Rodrigão joined Democrata-GV in late 2013, after impressing on a trial basis.[2] He made his debut for the club in the following year, in Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II. In March 2015 he moved to Boa Esporte.

Rodrigão made his professional debut on 8 May 2015, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Atlético Goianiense for the Série B championship.[3] On 9 June, after appearing in only five games, he was released.[4]

Campinense

On 19 June 2015 Rodrigão joined Campinense in Série D.[5] On 12 July he scored a brace in a 2–0 home win against Globo, and added a hat-trick in a 3–1 win against Coruripe on 16 August.[6]

Rodrigão started the 2016 season with a match-winning goal in a 2–1 Campeonato Paraibano home success over CSP on 30 January.[7] He also scored two further hat-tricks in the following month, against Esporte de Patos (7–1 home win)[8] and Imperatriz (3–0 away win).[9]

Santos

On 19 March 2016 Rodrigão agreed to a pre-contract with Série A club Santos, with the deal being effective on 1 June.[10] He signed a five-year contract with the club on 30 May, being immediately included in the first team squad.[11]

Rodrigão made his Peixe – and Série A – debut on 22 June 2016, starting and scoring his team's first in a 4–2 away win against Fluminense; he also provided the assist for Luiz Felipe's fourth goal.[12] He added his second goal four days later, the second in a 3–0 home success over São Paulo.[13]
