Rodrigo scored his first senior goal on 8 August 2015, netting his team's second in a 4–3 away win over Guarulhos. A regular starter for CATS, he signed for Batatais in February 2016, after a short period on trial with Santos' B-team.[2]
In January 2017, Rodrigo signed for Série C side Mogi Mirim,[3] being a first-choice during the year as the club suffered relegation. On 5 December, he was announced in the squad of Cuiabá for the upcoming season.[4]
After featuring rarely for Dourado, Rodrigo moved to Guarani de Palhoça in June 2018. In September, however, he signed for Ituano.[5]
Marcílio Dias
editIn November 2018, Marcílio Dias announced the loan of Rodrigo for the 2019 season.[6] In January 2019, after just two matches, he suffered a knee injury which sidelined him for the remainder of the campaign.[7]
In January 2020, now fully recovered, Rodrigo signed a permanent contract with Marcílio.[8] On 13 May 2020, after establishing himself as a regular starter, he renewed his contract with the club until 2021.[9]
