Born in Rio de Janeiro,[1] Renan started playing football as part of CFZ do Rio's youth squad.[2] He joined Botafogo's youth squad in 2007.[2]
Renan played 22 Série A games in 2008, debuting on 11 May against Sport Recife at Engenhão.[3] Renan started the 2009 season[4] replacing the then Botafogo's first team goalkeeper Castillo after a knee injury that left the Uruguayan goalkeeper out of the fields for approximately six months.[5] He played six Série A matches in 2009.[6]
In 2016, Renan joined Avaí. He played in all 38 matches during 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.
On 7 January 2017, Renan signed with Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad.[7] He quickly established himself as the first choice goalkeeper. In 2019, he lost even more quickly his first choice position after the arrival of Plamen Iliev, eventually falling further down the pecking order after Vladislav Stoyanov's recovery from a serious injury.[8]
On 18 June 2021, it was announced that Renan's contract had been terminated by mutual agreement and he was released from the club.[9]
