Career
Operário Ferroviário
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Patrick was rejected as a youth by hometown sides Flamengo, Vasco da Gama and Botafogo before becoming a youth graduate of Operário Ferroviário.[2] He made his first team debut for the latter on 27 August 2011, coming on as a second-half substitute for Zé Leandro in a 1–0 Série D away win over Oeste.
Patrick scored his first senior goal on 10 March 2013, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 Campeonato Paranaense away draw against Coritiba.
Loans to Marcílio Dias and Caxias
In May 2013, Patrick was loaned to Marcílio Dias for the year's Série D.[3] In September, after Marcílio were knocked out from the competition, he moved to Série C side Caxias also in a temporary deal,[4] but only featured in three matches.
Comercial-SP
On 5 December 2013, Patrick was presented at Comercial de Ribeirão Preto, with his former team Operário stating that the transfer was illegal as the player had contract with them until December 2014.[5] He nonetheless played the 2014 Campeonato Paulista for Comercial, scoring once in 12 matches.
Gaziantepspor
On 3 August 2014, Patrick moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Turkish Süper Lig side Gaziantepspor.[6][7] In the end of the month, however, he was released by the club.
Caxias return
After failing to play a single minute abroad, Patrick returned to Brazil on 5 January 2015, signing a contract with former side Caxias.[8] He was a regular starter during the 2015 Campeonato Gaúcho, but was unable to avoid team relegation.
Goiás
On 14 May 2015, Patrick was presented at Série A side Goiás.[9] He made his top tier debut two days later, starting in a 2–0 home win over Atlético Paranaense.
Patrick featured in 31 league matches during the campaign, as his side suffered relegation. He subsequently helped the club to win two Campeonato Goiano titles in a row, being a regular starter in both tournaments.
Sport Recife
On 3 June 2017, Patrick left Goiás and joined Sport Recife in the main category.[10] He scored his first goal in the division on 20 July, netting the opener of a 4–0 home routing of Atlético Goianiense.[11]
Patrick scored a further two goals in the 2017 Série A, being a first-choice as the club avoided relegation.[12]
Internacional
On 29 December 2017, Patrick signed a two-year deal with Internacional.[13] He made his club debut on 21 January 2018, starting in a 3–0 away win over Novo Hamburgo.
Patrick was the most used player of Inter during the 2018 season, featuring in 51 matches overall and scoring eight goals.[14] On 12 March 2019, the club bought 50% of his economic rights (which belonged to a group of businessman and were assigned at Monte Azul), and he renewed his contract until 2021.[15]
Patrick continued to feature regularly for the Colorado in the following years, scoring a career-best six goals in the 2020 Série A, including a brace in a 5–3 away win over former side Sport Recife. On 18 June 2021, he renewed his contract with Inter until June 2023.[16]
São Paulo
On 8 January 2022, Patrick joined São Paulo FC on a two-year deal.[17] In his first two matches for his new side, he provided two assists and scored once through a bicycle kick,[18] but suffered a thigh injury which sidelined him for more than a month.[19]
After only six matches in the 2022 Campeonato Paulista, Patrick was regularly used in the 2022 Série A, despite being criticized from the supporters due to his weight.[20] He finished the 2022 campaign with 55 appearances, nine goals and eight assists.[21]
Atlético Mineiro
On 19 January 2023, Patrick signed a three-year contract with Atlético Mineiro.[22] After being a part of the squad which won the 2023 Campeonato Mineiro, he was mainly a backup option during the 2023 Série A.[23]
Patrick started the 2024 season as a backup, being deemed surplus to requirements in March.[24]
Santos
On 19 April 2024, Santos announced the signing of Patrick on a contract valid until December 2026.[25] He made his debut for the club on 7 May, replacing Rómulo Otero in a 4–1 Série B home routing of Guarani.
Despite being signed as one of the main additions of the club for the remainder of the season, Patrick struggled to find his best form at Peixe, with club president Marcelo Teixeira stating that "measures would be taken" until July if the player could not perform at the level of his teammates.[26]
Loan to Athletico Paranaense
On 12 February 2025, Athletico Paranaense announced the signing of Patrick on loan until the end of the year.[27]
Loan to Remo
On 5 January 2026, Remo agreed to sign Patrick on loan until December.[28]
