After beginning his career with small clubs in Rio de Janeiro, Felipe signed with Italian club Padova in 2008. However, because of a minor heart defect, he was released. [2] After expressing an interest to play in England, Felipe had a successful trial with AFC Bournemouth which played in League One during the 2007–2008 season, and was offered a contract. Eddie Howe, then manager of Bournemouth said, "He's got great talent and great feet and can certainly cross a ball. I've taken a long-term view and you've got to look to the future".[ This quote needs a citation ]
Despite the strong interest from Bournemouth, Felipe opted to join FC Winterthur in Switzerland in January 2009. [3] His form with Winterthur brought Felipe to the attention of bigger Swiss clubs.
