Club career

Born in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Matheusinho was an América Mineiro youth graduate, but made his senior debut while on loan to Guarani-MG in 2017. Upon returning to his parent club, he featured mainly with the under-20s before making his first team debut on 11 March 2018, starting in a 1–1 Campeonato Mineiro away draw against Villa Nova.[1]

On 16 March 2018, five days after his debut, Matheusinho renewed his contract with América until December 2020.[2] However, he did not appear for the side again, serving loan deals at Santo André, Rio Claro and Nacional de Muriaé.[3]

On 9 April 2021, Matheusinho signed for Sertãozinho.[4] He subsequently represented Série D side Patrocinense before joining Veranópolis on 2 September.[5]

On 14 December 2021, Matheusinho agreed to a deal with Ypiranga-RS in the Série C.[6] After being a regular starter as the side reached the 2022 Campeonato Gaúcho Finals, he moved to Série A side Goiás on 12 April 2022.[7]

Matheusinho made his debut for the Esmeraldino on 31 May 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Apodi in a 1–0 away win over Red Bull Bragantino, for the year's Copa do Brasil.[8] His top tier debut occurred six days later, as he started in a 2–1 away win over Botafogo but had to leave after just nine minutes due to a serious knee injury.[9]
