Career
Born in Aracaju, Sergipe, Lawan joined Vitória's youth setup in October 2023, after playing for rivals Bahia and hometown side Confiança.[1] On 29 January 2024, he was loaned to Campinense for the Campeonato Paraibano.[2]
In April 2024, after being rarely used, Lawan moved to Série D side Itabuna along with several Vitória players, after a partnership between both clubs was established.[3] After impressing for the side, he was recalled in July.[4]
Lawan made his first team – and Série A – debut on 21 July 2024, coming on as a half-time substitute for Alerrandro in a 2–0 away loss to Grêmio.[5] On 7 August, he renewed his contract until 2027.[6]
