Career

Early career

Born in Santo Antônio do Sudoeste, Paraná, Dodi joined Grêmio's youth setup in 2008, aged 12. [2] He left the club in the end of 2013, and later moved to Criciúma.

Criciúma

After initially appearing for the under-20 side, Dodi made his first team – and Série A – debut for Criciúma on 23 November 2014, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Flamengo, as his side suffered relegation. [3] He scored his first senior goal the following 8 May, netting the opener in a 2–1 Série B away win over Mogi Mirim; it was also his debut in the competition. [4]

Dodi became a regular starter for the club in October 2015, under manager Roberto Cavalo. [5] He became an undisputed first-choice in the following year, and renewed his contract until December 2018 on 4 April of that year. [6] However, he left the club shortly after, and ended his period at Tigre by scoring nine goals in 147 appearances overall. [7]

Fluminense

On 19 April 2018, Dodi was announced at Fluminense back in the top tier, on loan until the end of the year and with a buyout clause. [8] He made his debut for the club on 6 May, coming on as a late substitute for Pedro in a 2–1 away win over Vitória.

Despite being mainly a backup option to Richard and Jadson, Dodi signed a permanent contract with Flu on 12 January 2019, agreeing to a deal until the end of 2020. [9] However, he was only a fourth-choice during the entire 2019 campaign, behind Yuri, Allan and Airton.

Dodi profitted from the arrival of Odair Hellmann as manager for the 2020 season, and became a starter. He refused a contract renewal in October of that year, with his agents stating that the offer was "too low", [10] and was separated from the first team squad in November, with Fluminense releasing a note saying that the player's staff already negotiated him with a foreign club. [11]

Kashiwa Reysol

On 10 February 2021, Dodi was announced at J1 League side Kashiwa Reysol. [12] He made his debut abroad on 1 May, replacing Keiya Shiihashi in a 1–0 loss at Vegalta Sendai.

Dodi scored his first goal in Japan on 27 August 2022, netting Kashiwa's first in a 6–3 home loss against FC Tokyo.

Santos

On 14 December 2022, Dodi returned to his home country after being announced as the new signing of Santos, on a three-year contract. [13] He made his debut for the club the following 14 January, starting in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista home win over Mirassol. [14]

Grêmio

On 22 December 2023, after Santos' first-ever relegation, Dodi was transferred to Grêmio also in the top tier, signing a three-year contract. [15]
