Early career

Born in Poxoréu, Mato Grosso, Michael started his career with hometown side Escolinha Diamante Verde. In 2012 he moved to Goiânia, having failed trials at Atlético Goianiense, Goiás, Vila Nova and Goiânia.[1]

In 2015, after spending a period representing amateur side Euro Brasil, Michael joined Monte Cristo Esporte Clube in the third division of the Campeonato Goiano.[2] He made his senior debut on 29 August of that year, starting in a 0–5 away loss against Caldas Esporte Clube.

In 2016 Michael signed a contract with Goiânia; initially assigned to the under-20s, he was promoted to the first team ahead of the year's second division of the Campeonato Goiano. He scored his first senior goal on 14 August, netting the game's only in a home success over Associação Esportiva Evangélica.

On 26 December 2016, Michael was announced at Goianésia in the first division.[3] A regular starter, he scored a hat-trick in a 5–1 home routing of Vila Nova the following 12 March.[4]

Michael scored his first professional goal on 7 July 2017, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win against Luverdense.[7] He was mainly utilized as a substitute during his first season, as his side narrowly avoided relegation.

Michael became a regular starter during the 2018 campaign,[8] contributing with seven goals in 33 appearances as his side achieved promotion to Série A. He made his top tier debut on 28 April 2019, starting in a 1–0 away defeat of Fluminense.[9]
