Club career edit
Early career edit
Born in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Rodriguinho started his professional career with ABC in 2007. However, his playing time was limited and he considered becoming a professional futsal player.[1] On 20 November 2009, he moved to Bragantino, with the club acquiring 30% of his rights.[2] An undisputed starter, he also featured regularly for the reserves.[1]
América Mineiro edit
On 11 May 2011, Rodriguinho moved to América Mineiro after agreeing to a deal which would keep him at the club until the end of 2012 Campeonato Mineiro.[3] 11 days later, he made his first team debut in a league match against Bahia; scoring a goal in the 2–1 victory.[4] On 30 July 2013, he scored a hat-trick and made two assists during a 5–0 victory against Sport Recife.[5]
In August 2013, Rodriguinho played his 100th match for Coelho in a 1–1 draw against América-RN.[6][7] Although in September, the club announced Rodriguinho's transfer to Qatari club El Jaish,[8] the deal did not materialise[9] It was later revealed that a problem in getting the work visa was the reason behind the deal getting cancelled. Nevertheless, Rodriguinho contributed with 25 goals in 103 matches for the club.[10]
Corinthians edit
Rodriguinho moved to Corinthians on 30 September 2013 for $4 million, with the club acquiring 60% of his rights.[11] In the following month, he made his debut in a 0–0 draw against Atlético Mineiro.[12]
Loans to Grêmio and Al-Sharjah edit
On 14 April 2014, Rodriguinho joined Grêmio on a season long loan deal.[13] However, after being rarely used, he left the club on 30 September.[14] Two days later, he was loaned to Emirati club Al-Sharjah on a loan deal June 2015; joining three Brazilian compatriots at the club.[15]
Breakthrough edit
Upon returning from loan in June 2015, Rodriguinho featured sparingly as the club won the 2015 Série A. From the 2016 season onwards, he became a regular starter for the club.
After being on the radar of several European clubs since July 2016, Corinthians rejected an offer from Turkish club Fenerbahçe in January 2017, to secure Rodriguinho's services.[16] In the 2017 season, he became the joint top scorer of the club with 11 goals, with his side winning the Série A and Paulista.[17]
Pyramids edit
On 21 July 2018, Egyptian side Pyramids FC announced the signing of Rodriguinho.[18][non-primary source needed]
Cruzeiro edit
In January 2019, Rodriguinho returned to his home country after agreeing to a three-year deal with Cruzeiro, after the club paid a US$ 4 million fee.[19] He was hampered by injuries during his spell at the club, and on 13 February 2020, he terminated his contract with the club.[20]
Bahia edit
On 14 February 2020, one day after leaving Cruzeiro, Rodriguinho signed a contract with Bahia until December 2021.[21] He was a regular starter for his new side, but suffered top tier relegation in 2021.
Cuiabá edit
On 30 December 2021, Rodriguinho was announced as one of the eight additions of Cuiabá.[22]
International career edit
In January 2017, Rodriguinho was called to the national team for a friendly match against Colombia.[23] He made his full international debut in on 26 January, replacing Willian Arão at half-time in the 1–0 win.[24]
Personal life edit
In September 2012, Rodriguinho suffered a car accident after having lost control over the vehicle. Although he denied being drunk, he accepted the fact that his driving license had expired when he was driving the car.[25]
