Career
Born in Hortolândia, São Paulo, Costa played for a social project before making his senior debut with hometown side SEV Hortolândia in 2013.[1] On 13 January 2014, he signed for Penapolense,[2] and was rarely used before moving abroad with Portuguese side Portimonense on 1 February 2015.[3]
In December 2015, Costa returned to his home country and joined Linense.[4] After just 16 minutes combined in two matches, he was loaned to Bragantino in May 2016, but mainly featured in the Copa Paulista.
After making no appearances for Linense in the 2017 season, Costa was announced at Desportivo Brasil on 26 May of that year.[5] He agreed to a deal with XV de Piracicaba on 5 December,[6] on loan from Bragantino, where he returned to play in the Série C on 11 April 2018.[7]
Costa subsequently moved to Grêmio Osasco, and served loan stints at Caldense and Mirassol.[8] On 29 January 2021, he returned to Caldense now in a permanent deal,[9] before being loaned out to Paraná on 20 May;[10] he returned to his parent club on 2 September, after rescinding his loan link.[11]
On 8 April 2022, Costa signed for Botafogo-PB.[12] He moved to Operário Ferroviário the following 20 January,[13] but was transferred to Avaí on 26 July 2023.[14]
On 25 November 2025, Guarani announced the signing of Costa for one year.[15]
