Career

Early career

Born in Surubim, Pernambuco,[1] José Aldo joined Palmeiras' youth setup in 2015, after being the top goalscorer of the U17 Campeonato Catarinense for Guarani de Palhoça.[2] In April 2018, he agreed to a one-year loan deal with Internacional, and was initially assigned to the youth setup.[3]

Promoted to the first team in May 2019, José Aldo's loan was extended until the end of the season,[4] and he made his first team – and Série A – debut on 15 September, in a 3–1 win over Atlético Mineiro.[5] The following 1 January, his loan was extended until June 2020, with a buyout clause.[6]

On 7 July 2020, José Aldo moved abroad and agreed to a one-year loan deal with Portuguese Primeira Liga side Portimonense.[7] After only appearing for the under-23 team, he returned to his home country and joined Pelotas in March 2021.

Paysandu

On 1 September 2021, José Aldo agreed to a deal with Paysandu, still owned by Guarani de Palhoça.[8] An immediate first-choice, his loan was extended on 20 December,[9] and helped the club to win the 2022 Copa Verde.

On 24 November 2022, José Aldo left Papão after appearing in 50 matches and scoring six goals.[10]

Ituano

In November 2022, shortly after leaving Paysandu, José Aldo agreed to a one-year loan deal with Ituano.[11] On 4 January 2024, after being regularly used, he renewed his link with the club.[12]

Mirassol

On 26 December 2024, Mirassol announced the signing of José Aldo on a one-year loan from Ituano.[13] Roughly one year later, after helping the club to qualify to the 2026 Copa Libertadores, he signed a permanent deal with the club.[14]
