Club career

Born in Barcelona, Spain, Romarinho joined Vasco da Gama's youth setup in 2007. On 5 December 2012, he rescinded with the club, and moved to Brasiliense a day later.
Romarinho made his senior debuts during the 2013 campaign, scoring a goal in the year's Campeonato Brasiliense 3–0 win over Brasília. On 5 January 2015 he left Brasiliense, and immediately returned to his first club Vasco.

In December 2017, Romarinho signed for Figueirense. He played only three matches as they won the Campeonato Catarinense, scoring on 24 January to win the home game against Brusque.
