Saulo Rodrigues da Silva (born 17 June 1997), known as Saulo Mineiro or simply Saulo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Ceará as a forward.
Saulo was born in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, and represented hometown side Uberlândia EC as a youth.[1] He made his first team debut on 28 March 2017, in a 2–2 Campeonato Mineiro home draw against Cruzeiro; after coming on as a 61st minute substitute, he had to leave the field two minutes later due to an arm injury.[2]
Saulo spent the rest of the 2017 campaign on loan at América Mineiro's under-20 squad.[3] For the 2018 campaign, after again playing for Uberlândia, he also represented Uberaba and Araxá.[4]
In April 2019, after brief stints at Tupi and CRAC, Saulo signed for Volta Redonda.[5] On 4 September, he renewed his contract until 2021.[6]
On 18 September 2020, after scoring five goals in only six matches of the 2020 Série C, Saulo moved straight to Série A with Ceará.[7] He made his debut for the club on 25 October, replacing Cléber in a 2–1 home win against Coritiba.
Saulo scored his first goal in the top tier on 30 November 2020, netting his team's third in a 4–1 away success over Vasco da Gama.[8]
