Career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Renan played for the youth sides of Olaria before impressing for amateur side Cancela Preta in the 2017 Taça das Favelas, a tournament between favelas in Brazil. This prompted to a move to São Caetano in 2018, and a loan to Corinthians followed, with the club purchasing 10% of his economic rights.[1]
On 28 February 2019, Renan moved to América Mineiro also on loan.[2] After only playing for the under-20s, he returned to Azulão, making his senior debut on 19 October of that year in a 2–0 Copa Paulista home loss to Mirassol.[3]
In 2021, after featuring rarely at São Caetano, Renan moved to Austria and joined SC Röthis in the Eliteliga Vorarlberg. He scored 26 goals for the side (24 in the league), which led him to a move to 2. Liga side FC Dornbirn on 2 June 2022.[4][5]
On 6 January 2023, Renan was announced at K League 2 side Seoul E-Land.[6] On 11 November, he rescinded his contract by mutual consent, after making no appearances for the side and struggling with injuries.
On 6 February 2024, Renan returned to Dornbirn.[7] On 18 July, after scoring twice in six appearances, he moved to fellow second division side Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz.[8]
On 7 January 2025, Renan returned to his home country after signing for Portuguesa, for R$ 600,000.[9] On 25 February, he was sold to Athletico Paranaense after the club bought 70% of his economic rights for a fee of R$ 6 million.[10]
