Ana Caroline Martins Rodrigues (born 28 October 1994), known as Carol Baiana or just Carol, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Santos FC.

Club career

Born in Petrolina, Pernambuco but raised in Juazeiro, Bahia (which earned her the nickname of Baiana),[1] Carol began her career with Vitória das Tabocas back in her native state, in 2011. In June 2013, she scored 15 goals in a 34–0 Campeonato Pernambucano win over PMPE.[2]

In August 2013, Carol moved to the United States, joining Monroe College and representing the women's soccer team Monroe Mustangs.[3] [4] After an impressive 2014 season, where she scored 19 goals in just 15 appearances, she was included in the NSCAA Women's Division I All-American First Team.[5] [6]

In 2015, Carol continued her studies at the University of Central Florida, playing for the UCF Knights.[7] In January 2017, after finishing her graduation, she was included in the 2017 NWSL College Draft[8] and spent the pre-season with Orlando Pride,[9] but was not picked.

On 22 August 2017, Carol signed a two-year contract with Division 1 Féminine side Bordeaux.[10] She struggled with injuries at her new side, and moved to Dijon FCO in August 2019.[11]

On 12 August 2020, Carol left Dijon to join Damallsvenskan side Hammarby.[12] The following 12 February, she returned to her home country after being announced at Palmeiras.[13]

Carol helped Verdão to win their first-ever Copa Libertadores Femenina in 2022, but mainly as a backup option. On 18 January 2023, she signed for Cruzeiro,[14] but left on 13 December.[15]

On 15 January 2024, Carol was announced at Santos.[16]

International career

Carol represented Brazil at under-20 level in the 2012[17] and 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[18]
