Born in Taboão da Serra, São Paulo, Portuga earned his nickname after playing for the youth sides of Portuguese side Benfica, but made his senior debut with Barcelona-SP in the 2016 Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão. In 2017, he moved to Juventus-SP and returned to the youth setup.

Portuga made his debut for Juventus on 5 August 2018, in a 1–0 home loss to Atibaia, for the year's Copa Paulista.[1] After impressing during the competition, he signed for Grêmio on 3 December.[2]

After featuring with the under-23 team, Portuga was loaned to Esportivo on 12 February 2020.[3] After making no appearances, he returned to Grêmio and featured with the under-23s before leaving as his contract ended.

On 24 February 2021, Portuga was announced at São Caetano.[4] A backup option during the 2021 Campeonato Paulista as the club suffered relegation, he became a starter afterwards.

On 20 April 2022, Portuga joined Série D side São Bernardo.[5] On 16 November, after achieving promotion, he was loaned to Oeste.[6]

Announced at Camboriú for the fourth division on 11 May 2023,[7] Portuga subsequently returned to Oeste for the year's Copa Paulista. On 2 November, he agreed to a contract with Galo Maringá for the upcoming season.[8]

On 8 May 2024, Portuga confirmed his move to Portuguesa for the state cup.[9] On 31 July, however, he joined Série B side Ponte Preta on loan for the remainder of the year.[10]
