Club career
Born in São Paulo, Veiga represented Corinthians, São Paulo, Portuguesa and Pão de Açúcar as a youth before joining Coritiba in September 2013.[1] He spent two years in the youth setup before being promoted to the main squad in February 2016.[2]
On 10 March 2016 Veiga made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Thiago Lopes in a 3–0 Primeira Liga home win against Avaí.[3] He made his Série A debut on 23 July, starting in a 1–0 away win against Santa Cruz.[4]
Veiga scored his first goal as a senior on 3 August 2016, but in a 1–3 loss at Vitória. After 19 league appearances and three goals, he was sold to Palmeiras on 19 December, signing a five-year contract.[5]
On 2 January 2018, after being sparingly used by Verdão, Veiga moved to Atlético Paranaense on a one-year loan deal.[6]
