Career
Born in Taquari, Rio Grande do Sul, Chico played for the youth sides of Grêmio, Internacional, CFZ do Rio and Novo Hamburgo before making his first team debut with the latter in 2013. He joined Atlético Paranaense in 2014, initially for the under-23 team.
In February 2015, Chico was loaned to Inter de Lages after the club began a partnership with Atlético, and made his senior debut on 12 April of that year, scoring the winner in a 2–1 Campeonato Catarinense home win over Chapecoense. Despite being rarely used, he moved to Tombense also in a temporary deal, along with head coach Marcelo Mabilia.
Ahead of the 2016 season, Chico joined São José-RS also on loan, but finished the year at Operário Ferroviário. He returned to Zequinha for the 2017 campaign, now on a permanent deal, but did not feature in any matches for the side.
In 2017, Chico moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Serie A de México side Inter Playa del Carmen. He scored ten goals in the Apertura tournament for the side, and joined Ascenso MX side Venados in January 2018.
In July 2018, Chico returned to Inter Playa. After scoring seven times in just ten matches, he returned to the second division with Atlante in December of that year. He played his first match with the club on 8 January, in a 2–1 Copa Mexico home loss to Pachuca, and scored his first goal eight days later in a 1–1 draw at Tijuana.
Chico was an important unit of Atlante in the 2020 Clausura, notably scoring a brace in a 2–1 home win over Cafetaleros de Chiapas on 13 February of that year. On 15 June, he agreed to a deal with Querétaro in the Liga MX.
Chico made his debut in the top tier of Mexican football on 22 August 2020, replacing Ángel Sepúlveda at half-time in a 1–0 away loss to Atlas. He scored his first goal for the club against the same opponent the following 18 January, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success.
On 9 June 2021, Chico was presented at Paraguayan Primera División side Sol de América. He was the club's top scorer with eight goals in the 2021 Clausura tournament, but still departed in December.
