Club career

Born in Cruzeiro, São Paulo, Fabinho made his senior debuts with Camboriú in 2006, aged 20. In 2009, he moved to Campinense, and subsequently represented Baraúnas and Alecrim before joining América-RN in September 2011.[1]

Fabinho was promoted with the latter to Série B late in the year, after appearing in four matches. He made his debut in the competition on 19 May 2012, starting in a 5–2 home routing of Goiás.[2]

Fabinho was an undisputed starter for his side during the following years, scoring his first goal for the club on 20 January 2013, netting his side's only in a 1–2 home loss against Vitória, for that year's Copa do Nordeste.[3] On 22 December 2014 he signed for Série A club Figueirense.[4]

Fabinho has appeared in over 100 competitive matches for Ceará over three seasons and winning the 2020 Copa do Nordeste with the club.[5]
