Club career

edit

Nova Iguaçu

edit

Kayque was born in Rio de Janeiro, and began his career with Nova Iguaçu at the age of eleven. He made his first team debut with the club on 11 January 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–0 Campeonato Carioca home routing over America-RJ.

Botafogo

edit

On 5 September 2020, after five more first team appearances for Nova Iguaçu, Kayque joined Botafogo on loan until the following February, and was initially assigned to the under-20 squad.[1] He made his first team – and Série A – debut for Bota on 2 February 2021, replacing Cesinha in a 1–1 away draw against Palmeiras.[2]

Kayque had his loan extended until the end of 2021, but suffered a thigh injury which kept him sidelined between the months of April[3] and July.[4] On 14 January 2022, his loan was again extended for another six months.[5]

On 29 June 2022, Botafogo announced a permanent deal with Kayque until 2025.[6]

RWD Molenbeek (loan)

edit

On 6 September 2023, Botafogo sent Kayque on a season-long loan to recently-promoted to Belgian Pro League club RWD Molenbeek.[7]
