He helped Palmeiras to win the Copinha in 2023, as well as the U-20 Brasileirão (2022) and the U-20 Copa do Brasil (2022).[3][5][2] For Palmeiras from 2022 until 2025, he appeared in 101 matches at youth level in total, scoring six goals.[6]
He joined C.D. Santa Clara of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on the final day of the winter transfer window in January 2025, agreeing a two and-a-half year contract into 2027.[6] He made his debut for the Santa Clara first team on 10 May 2025 at the age of 20 years-old, when he replaced Diogo Calila in the 30th minute of their penultimate league match of the 2024-25 season against F.C. Famalicão in a 2-1 home win.[7][8]
