Born in Cajueiro Seco, a small neighborhood in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Pernambuco, [2] Rwan began his career at a local footballing school named Garoto do Futuro before joining Náutico's youth categories. One year later, he joined Sport Recife as they offered a small funding assistance. [3]
Rwan left Sport in the end of 2018 and subsequently signed for Figueirense, but spent nine months without playing at his new side due to a registration problem.

In June 2020, Rwan agreed to join Santos on loan from Flamengo, being initially assigned to the under-20s. [5] However, due to the club's transfer ban, he was registered only in the following May. [6]

Rwan scored his first senior goal on 23 February 2022, netting his team's third in a 3–0 away win over Salgueiro, for the year's Copa do Brasil. [9]
On 31 March 2023, Rwan was loaned to fellow top tier side Vasco da Gama until the end of the year, with a buyout clause. [10]
