Club career

Born in Orlândia, São Paulo, Jair joined Santos' youth setup in 2016, aged ten. On 19 June 2021, he signed his first professional contract with the club, agreeing to a deal until 2024.
On 22 June 2022, Jair renewed his link with Peixe until June 2025, and started to train with the first team squad in August. On 12 January of the following year, he suffered a knee injury while playing for the under-20s in the 2023 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.
Jair returned to trainings in August 2023, while entering the final stages of his recovery. He was declared fit to play in October, and made his professional – and Série A – debut on 9 November, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Marcos Leonardo in a 1–0 away win over Goiás.
On 23 April 2024, after becoming an immediate backup to starters Gil and Joaquim, Jair renewed his contract with Santos until December 2026.
