Career

Early career

Born in Tatuí, São Paulo, Rodinei was orphan at the age of only ten.[2] He started his career at the age of 17 with Videira Esporte Clube in the second division of the Campeonato Catarinense, and subsequently moved to Porto União.

In 2011, Rodinei joined Avaí and was initially assigned to the under-20s. Ahead of the 2012 season, he was loaned to Marcílio Dias for the year's Catarinense.

On 22 May 2012, Rodinei joined Corinthians on loan for one year.[3] A third-choice behind Alessandro and Guilherme Andrade, he made his Série A debut on 17 October, coming on as a late substitute for Willian Arão in a 2–0 away loss against Cruzeiro;[4] it was his only appearance for the club.

On 3 May 2013, Rodinei extended his contract with Avaí and was immediately loaned to CRAC until the end of the year,[5] being a regular starter in the club's Série C run. He then moved to Penapolense also in a temporary deal for the 2014 Campeonato Paulista, being an undisputed first-choice as his side reached the quarterfinals of the competition.

Rodinei contributed with two goals in 22 appearances for the side during his first year, helping in their top tier promotion. On 11 December 2014, he agreed to a new one-year contract with Ponte.[7] During the 2015 season, he was again an undisputed starter, only missing three league matches as his side achieved a comfortable 11th place.

Flamengo
