Career

Early career

edit

Born in Anicuns, Goiás, Marcelinho began his career with the youth sides of Atlético Goianiense before joining Almirante Barroso [pt]. On 6 July 2019, he was loaned to Palmeiras, with a buyout clause.[1]

Palmeiras

edit

Marcelinho made his first team debut for Verdão on 18 November 2020, due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the squad, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Aníbal Vega in a 2–2 away draw against Ceará, for the year's Copa do Brasil.[2] He made his Série A debut three days later, starting in a 1–0 loss at Goiás.[3]

In July 2021, Marcelinho left Verdão after his loan expired,[4] and moved to Vasco da Gama also in a temporary deal, being assigned to the under-20 team.[5]

Cruzeiro

edit

On 2 December 2021, Marcelinho agreed to a two-year contract with Cruzeiro.[6] Initially a member of the under-20s during the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he featured in five first team matches before moving out on loan to Ferroviária on 8 July 2022.[7]

On 30 July 2022, after Ferroviária's elimination from the 2022 Série D, Marcelinho moved to Água Santa also on loan.[8] He scored his first senior goal the following day, netting a last-minute equalizer in a 1–1 away draw against Juventus-SP, for the year's Copa Paulista.[9]

On 16 November 2022, Marcelinho rescinded his contract with Cruzeiro.[10]

Tombense

edit

On 13 December 2022, Marcelinho signed for Tombense in the Série B.[11] Regularly used, he scored seven goals during the campaign as his side suffered relegation.

Loan to Santos

edit

On 30 December 2023, Marcelinho joined Santos on a one-year loan deal.[12] He made his club debut on 31 January of the following year, replacing Rómulo Otero in a 1–0 Campeonato Paulista away win over former side Água Santa.[13]

On 10 April 2024, Santos announced that Marcelinho's loan contract was rescinded; he featured in just five matches for the club.[14]
