Club career

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]

On 11 May 2011, Rodriguinho moved to América Mineiro after agreeing to a deal which would keep him at the club till 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.[5] In August, he 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]

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]

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]

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]

On 21 July 2018, Egyptian side Pyramids FC announced the signing of Rodriguinho.[18]

In January 2019, the Brazilian team Cruzeiro announced the hiring of Rodriguinho for 4 million dollars.

International career

In January 2017, Rodriguinho was called to the national team for a friendly match against Colombia.[19] He made his international debut in that match on 26 January.[20]

Personal life

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.[21]
