Born in Arapongas, Paraná, Juninho started his career at Londrina Junior Team, the youth team of Londrina (they later became two separate entities). He played once in the national cup in 2004. He was then loaned to Serie A team Chievo but played for its youth team. As Italy prevented signing non-EU players, he only trialled with the club and never signed for them officially.
In 2004 he was loaned to Domžale from Londrina Junior Team along with Jhonnes.[2] Later, teammate Lucas also joined him. Juninho remained at the city of Domžale for 4+1⁄2 seasons. His contract with Londrina Junior Team was also renewed in January 2007, as he signed a new five-year contract.[3] He left the club on 2 December 2008.[4]
On 23 December 2008, Figueirense announced the signing of the player[5] on a one-year contract.[6] His contract with Figueirense was terminated on 19 May 2009, after he played a few games in Campeonato Catarinense.[7] He did not play any match in the 2009 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.
On 31 August 2009 he returned to Slovenia in a 1+1⁄2-year deal.[8][9] The deal with Domžale was renewed on 1 December 2010, until 31 May 2013.
At the beginning of the 2011–12 season, after already playing one match with Domžale in the league,[10] Juninho signed with FC Baku.[11]
In February 2015, Juninho returned to Domžale, signing a contract till the end of the 2016–17 season.[12]
