Born in Caririaçu, Ceará, Jacaré never played in any youth setup until 2017, when he impressed while playing for an amateur side and subsequently joined Icasa.[1] He made his senior debut with the side on 20 August of that year, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Caucaia, for the 2017 Copa Fares Lopes.
After only one further match, Jacaré was loaned to Fortaleza, where he featured mainly for the under-20 side and played one first team match in the Campeonato Cearense. In April 2019, after returning from loan, he rescinded with his parent club after alleging unpaid wages,[2] and signed for Caucaia in the following month.[3]
On 27 February 2020, after helping Caucaia win the second division of the Cearense and the Fares Lopes, Jacaré signed a pre-contract with Ceará.[4] He was officially announced on 3 June, agreeing to a deal until December 2022.[5]
Jacaré made his Série A debut on 8 August 2020, coming on as a half-time substitute for Rafael Sóbis in a 2–3 away loss against Sport Recife, also scoring his team's second goal of the match.[6] In March of the following year, he suffered a knee injury which kept him out for eight months.[7]
After returning from injury, Jacaré played in four matches in the 2022 season before rescinding his contract on 16 March, and joined Bahia.[8]
