Career[edit]

Born in Brumado, Bahia, Brazil, Júnior Brumado progressed through the academy of EC Bahia. He made his Campeonato Brasileiro Série A debut on 17 July 2017 in a 1–1 draw against Avaí.[2] On 21 April 2018, he scored his first professional goal in a league game against Santos, after coming on as a late substitute for Marco Antonio to seal the narrow 1–0 win.[3]

With Bahia club, Brumado participated in the 2018 Copa Sudamericana and contributed with a goal against Bolivian club Blooming on 24 May 2018.[4] Bahia were knocked out in the quarter-finals by eventual winner Athletico Paranaense after a penalty shootout.[5]

Midtjylland[edit]

On 30 January 2019, Brumado signed a five-year contract with Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland for a fee reported to be DKK 16 million. Bahia had also secured a resale clause of 15 percent.[6] He made his debut on 14 April in a 2–0 win over OB, coming on for Mayron George in the 77th minute.[7]

On 31 January 2020, as part of a deal which sent Silkeborg player Ronnie Schwartz to Midtjylland, Brumado was sent to Silkeborg to replace Schwartz, on a loan deal for the rest of the season.[8] He made his first appearance for the club on 16 February in a 2–0 home loss to AaB.[9][10] His first goal for Silkeborg – as well as his first goal in the Danish league – followed on 9 March in a 2–1 win over AGF.[11]

Ahead of the 2020–21 season, Brumado returned to Midtjylland. He scored his first goal for the club on 26 August 2020, which proved to be the winner in a 1–0 win in the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Ludogorets Razgrad.[12]

He scored his first hat-trick on 3 October 2021, securing a 4–0 win over AGF.[13] On 15 January 2022, he extended his contract with Midtjylland until December 2026.[14]

Loan to Hansa Rostock[edit]

On 1 September 2023, Brumado joined German 2. Bundesliga club Hansa Rostock on a season-long loan.[15] He made his debut for Hansa on 16 September, replacing Kai Pröger in the 67th minute of a 3–1 home loss against Fortuna Düsseldorf.[16] On 24 September, in his second match for Die Ostseestädter, Brumado not only made his first start but also scored his debut goal for the club as they lost 3–1 to 1.
