Career

edit

Born in Guarulhos, São Paulo, Caíque began his career on Portuguesa, having joined their youth sides at the age of 17.[1] On 12 February 2015, he was included in the 28-man list for the year's Campeonato Paulista.[2]

Caíque made his senior debut on 4 March 2015, coming on as a second half substitute for Léo Costa in a 3–1 Copa do Brasil away win against Santos-AP.[3] He made his Paulistão debut seventeen days later, again from the bench in a 1–1 away draw against Mogi Mirim.[4]

Rarely used during his first year, Caíque became a regular starter in the 2016 Campeonato Paulista Série A2, and suffered relegation from the Série C at the end of the year.

On 5 December 2017, after spending a period in Portugal with Portimonense, Caíque was presented at Ferroviária.[5] Rarely used in his first season, he was loaned to Sertãozinho for the 2019 Paulistão A2 before returning to AFE for the 2019 Série D, and scored his first senior goal with the side on 18 May 2019, in a 2–0 away win over Maringá.[6]

On 14 November 2019, Caíque returned to Lusa for the upcoming season.[7] An immediate first-choice, he helped the club to win the Copa Paulista in 2020.

On 1 November 2021, Caíque agreed to a pre-contract with Água Santa and left Portuguesa.[8] On 21 April 2022, he signed for Série B side Ituano.[9]

On 8 December 2022, Caíque joined Ceará also in the second division.[10] He won the 2023 Copa do Nordeste with the club, but left on 28 November 2023.[11]

On 15 December 2023, Caíque signed a one-year contract with Juventude, newly promoted to the Série A.[12]
