Born in Barreiras, Bahia, Iago represented Atlético Goianiense, Jardim América and Trindade as a youth. He made his senior debut with the latter on 11 June 2017, playing the last six minutes of a 1–0 Campeonato Goiano Segunda Divisão away win against ASEEV.[1]

Iago moved to Goiás in late 2017, returning to the under-20s.[2] He made his first team debut for the Esmeraldino on 20 March 2019, starting in a 2–1 home win against Iporá for the Goiano championship.[3] His first goal came on 11 September, netting the opener in a 4–2 home success over Luverdense, for the year's Copa Verde.[4]

On 22 August 2020, after being rarely used, Iago was loaned to Série D side Aparecidense for the remainder of the season.[5] He returned in October after failing to make an appearance, but still made his Série A debut on 3 December by starting in a 0–3 home loss against São Paulo.[6]
