Career
Born in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Erick joined Grêmio's youth setup at the age of 13, from hometown side Sudeste FC.[1] On 31 August 2017, he moved abroad and signed for Vejle Boldklub of the Danish 1st Division.[2]
Erick left Vejle on 20 January 2018,[3] and was announced at Série B side Boa Esporte just hours later.[4] Rarely used with the latter, he ended the season with hometown side Pelotas, playing in the Copa FGF.
Erick began the 2019 campaign with Glória,[5] but subsequently played for Hercílio Luz, Inter de Lages[6] and Avenida during the year. He left the latter club in March 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, and signed with Nova Mutum on 4 September 2020.[7]
On 25 May 2021, Erick returned to his home state after agreeing to a one-year deal with Ypiranga-RS.[8] He immediately became a regular starter, being the top scorer of the 2022 Campeonato Gaúcho with six goals.[9]
On 6 April 2022, Erick agreed to a one-year loan deal with Vasco da Gama in the Série B.[10] He scored once in 14 appearances as the club achieved promotion to the Série A, but had his loan terminated on 6 February 2023.[11]
On 3 August 2023, after scoring nine goals for Ypiranga in the 2023 Série C, Erick signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Juventude in the second division.[12] He again achieved top tier promotion with his new side, scoring twice in 13 appearances.
