Club career
Ricardinho was born in Itaberaí, Goiás, and was a Goiás youth graduate. He made his first team debut on 30 January 2008, starting in a 1–0 Campeonato Goiano away win against CRAC.
Mainly assigned to the under-20 squad, Ricardinho only made his Série A debut on 15 November 2009, coming on as a late substitute for Léo Lima in a 3–1 home win against Santo André.[1] After being rarely used, he moved to Rio Branco-SP for the 2010 campaign.
After again featuring sparingly, Ricardinho returned to his native state and joined Série B side Vila Nova in October 2010.[2] A regular starter during his two-year spell, he agreed to a contract with Avaí in December 2012.[3]
Ricardinho began the 2014 campaign with Rio Branco-PR, later moving to Paraná, where he established himself as a regular starter in the right back. On 13 January 2016, after being deemed surplus to requirements by the latter club, he joined Criciúma.[4]
Ricardinho was presented at Guarani on 21 December 2017,[5] immediately becoming a starter and scoring the winning goal of the 2018 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 final against XV de Piracicaba.[6] On 19 November 2018, he renewed his contract until December 2020.[7]
On 3 August 2020, after appearing rarely during the season, Ricardinho moved to top-tier side Sport Recife.[8]
