Club career[edit]

Guarani[edit]

Born in Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo, São Paulo, Douglas was a Guarani youth graduate. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 14 November 2010, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Vitória, and appeared in two further matches as his side was relegated.[2]

Corinthians and loans[edit]

On 4 May 2011, Douglas moved to Corinthians and was assigned to the under-20 squad.[3] On 19 March of the following year, after winning the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he moved to Série B side Paraná on loan until the end of the year.[4]

Douglas scored his first professional goal on 18 April 2012, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Ceará, which qualified Paraná to the next round of the year's Copa do Brasil. On 1 May, he scored a hat-trick in a 6–1 home routing of Junior Team.[5]

On 18 August 2012, after falling down the pecking order, Douglas left Paraná and joined Ipatinga on loan until December.[6] He subsequently served another loan stints at Guaratinguetá, Penapolense and Ponte Preta[7] before his contract with Corinthians expired.

Japan[edit]

In 2015, Douglas moved abroad and joined Japanese J2 League side Thespakusatsu Gunma. In the following year, he switched teams and countries again after agreeing to a contract with Cafetaleros de Tapachula of the Ascenso MX.

Khor Fakkan[edit]

On 26 September 2021, Douglas signed a two-year contract with Khor Fakkan.[12] Over a month after joining, Douglas hit the net for the first time in a 4–1 win over Al Urooba, after the match he said "I'm so happy to have scored my first for Khor Fakkan and may it be the first of many."[13]

Turkey[edit]

On 9 August 2022, Douglas signed a two-year contract with TFF First League (Turkish second division) club Samsunspor.[14]
