Club career

Born in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Thiaguinho graduated from Fluminense Football Club's youth setup. However, he failed to appear in the first-team squad, and was subsequently loaned to Série C side Duque de Caxias Futebol Clube in 2008. With the latter he appeared regularly, scoring once.
In 2009 Thiaguinho moved to Olaria Atlético Clube. After one and 1/2 seasons with the club he moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Segunda División B's CD Atlético Baleares. In July 2011 he renewed his link with the Balearic side, becoming a regular starter afterwards.
On 20 July 2014 Thiaguinho joined Racing de Ferrol, also in the third level. On 22 January of the following year he rescinded with the club, after appearing in only ten league matches.
