Born in Campinas, São Paulo but raised in São Sebastião do Paraíso, Minas Gerais, Richard began his career with Monte Azul and finished his formation with Comercial-SP.[1] He made his first team debut with the latter on 16 August 2013, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–2 away draw against XV de Piracicaba, for the year's Copa Paulista;[2] it was his only appearance for the club.
After leaving Comercial, Richard represented Atlético Sorocaba[3] and Atibaia,[4] featuring sparingly for both sides.
On 17 August 2017, Richard was presented at Série A side Fluminense on loan, after a recommendation from the club's scouting area.[5] He made his top tier debut on 17 September, starting in a 1–3 away loss against Atlético Paranaense.[6]
On 8 February 2018, Richard signed a permanent four-year contract with Flu.[7] He scored his first goal for the club on 15 April, netting the equalizer in a 1–2 loss at Corinthians.[8]
On 10 December 2018, Richard moved to Corinthians on a four-year deal.[9] Unable to establish himself as a regular starter, he was loaned to Vasco da Gama on 20 June 2019, until December.[10]
Back to Timão for the 2020 campaign, Richard again featured rarely before moving to Athletico Paranaense on 20 July, on a 18-month loan deal for a €500,000 fee.[11]
