Vitinho arrived at Cruzeiro when he was six-years-old. In the 2018 U-20 Copa Libertadores, he scored two goals in three matches, and was promoted to the first squad. Soon after, Brazil U20 coach Carlos Amadeu, called up Vitinho for the Brazilian Under-20 National team.[2]
On 19 May 2018, he made his debut for Cruzeiro, replacing Robinho in the 68th minute against Atlético Mineiro.[3] He was added to the Brazil national team to prepare for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, but failed to make the final selection.[4] On 13 July 2018, he signed a five-year contract with Cercle Brugge.[5]
