Career

edit

Born in Goiânia, Goiás, Daniel began his career with Vila Nova before joining the youth sides of Atlético Goianiense in 2021, for a rumoured fee of R$ 250,000.[1] He made his first team debut with the latter on 30 January 2022, coming on as a late substitute for Brian Montenegro in a 1–0 Campeonato Goiano away win over Iporá.[2]

Shortly after making his first team debut, Daniel suffered a knee injury,[2] which sidelined him for the remainder of the year.[3] After recovering, he scored his first senior goal on 12 February 2023, netting Dragão's second in a 3–1 away win over Inhumas.[4]

On 15 April 2023, Daniel renewed his contract with Atlético until 2028.[5] He was mainly a backup option during the 2023 Série B, contributing with one goal as his side achieved promotion.
