Club career

Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Chico joined Sport Recife's youth setup in 2014, aged 15.[1] He made his first team debut on 4 April 2017, starting in a 2–2 Campeonato Pernambucano home draw against Salgueiro.[2]

Chico was promoted to the main squad for the 2019 season, but suffered a knee injury in January which kept him out for the most of the season.[3] He still renewed his contract until 2022 in February,[1] and only played for the under-23 side after his return.

Definitely promoted to the first team ahead of the 2020 season, Chico made his Série A debut on 23 August, coming on as a half-time substitute for Sander in a 0–1 home loss against São Paulo.[4]
