Career

Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Bruninho joined Atlético Mineiro's youth setup in 2013, aged 13. He made his first team debut on 25 January 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute for Valdívia in a 1–0 Campeonato Mineiro away loss to Villa Nova. [3]

Bruninho made his Série A debut on 2 June 2018, replacing Elias late into a 3–3 home draw against Chapecoense. He scored his first professional goal on 15 September 2019, netting his team's only in a 3–1 home loss to Internacional. [4]

On 11 March 2020, Bruninho was loaned to fellow top tier side Sport Recife until the end of the year; [5] Atlético later renewed his contract until 2023 on 30 April. [6] On 1 March 2021, after featuring sparingly, he moved to Confiança also in a temporary deal. [7]

On 25 May 2021, after scoring nine goals in just 16 matches for Confiança, Bruninho moved to Juventude also on loan. [8] On 17 December, his loan was renewed for a further year. [9]

On 5 July 2024, Bruninho joined Primeira Liga club Boavista on loan for the 2024–25 season. [13] He left the club on 1 September 2024, as Boavista was unable to lift the ban on registering new players by the end of the transfer window. [14]
