Career
Born in Currais Novos, Rio Grande do Norte,[1] Ignácio represented Santa Cruz-RN[2] and Itapirense as a youth,[3] before making his senior debut with VOCEM in 2017.[4] Later in that year, he also played for local side Força e Luz, winning the second division of the Campeonato Potiguar.[2]
On 12 April 2018, after impressing in the year's Potiguar, Ignácio joined Série D side ASSU on loan from Santa Cruz-RN.[5] In July, after his club was knocked out of the competition, he moved to Bahia also on a temporary deal, and was initially assigned to their under-23 team.[6]
Ignácio made his first team – and Série A – debut on 6 October 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute for Eric Ramires in a 2–2 away draw against Grêmio.[7] The following 7 January, he signed a permanent deal until 2022 as the club bought 60% of his economic rights.[8]
On 3 October 2020, after being rarely used, Ignácio was loaned to Série B side CSA until the end of the season.[9] The following 28 May, he moved to Chapecoense also in a temporary deal.[10]
Back to Bahia for the 2022 season, Ignácio became an undisputed starter, but still left on 21 December 2022, after failing to agree new terms.[11] He moved abroad three days later, after signing for Peruvian Primera División side Sporting Cristal.[12]
On 19 July 2024, Ignácio returned to his home country after being announced at Fluminense on a four-and-a-half-year contract.[13]
