Born in Itabuna, Bahia, Sandry joined Santos' youth setup in 2013, aged ten.[3][4] In 2018, aged only 15, he appeared with the under-20s in the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.[5]

Called up to the first team by new manager Jorge Sampaoli, Sandry made his debut with the main squad on 31 January 2019, coming on as a late substitute for goalscorer Derlis González in a 4–1 Campeonato Paulista away routing of Bragantino.[6] On 5 August, after lengthy negotiations, he signed a professional contract with the club.[7]

Sandry made his Série A debut on 8 December 2019, replacing goalscorer Carlos Sánchez late into a 4–0 home routing of Flamengo.[8] He made his Copa Libertadores debut the following 20 October, replacing Jobson in a 2–1 home win against Defensa y Justicia.[9]

On 10 November 2020, it was announced that Sandry and a further six first team players tested positive for COVID-19.[10] On 3 April of the following year, it was announced that he suffered a knee injury, being sidelined for at least six months.[11]

On 17 June 2021, Sandry renewed his contract with Santos until May 2026.[12] Back to action in November, he returned to feature regularly for the side before suffering a facial injury in February 2023; he recovered in April, but had an infection in the region in May.[13]

On 10 August 2023, Sandry suffered another knee injury, being sidelined for the remainder of the season.[14] He returned to action on 8 June 2024, in a 3–1 Série B away loss to Novorizontino.

International career

During the 2017 season, Sandry featured in Brazil under-15s' matches regularly.[15][16] On 20 September 2019, he was included in Guilherme Dalla Déa's 21-man list for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup,[17] featuring mainly as a substitute as his side lifted the trophy for the fourth time.[18]

Sandry's father Nenenzinho was also a footballer and a midfielder.[3] He was named after manager Lori Sandri, after his parents were watching a football match on the TV and "thought the name was pretty".[19]
