Professional career

[edit]

Orobó joined the Araripina youth academy at age 16. Orobó made his professional debut with Araripina in a 1-0 Campeonato Pernambucano loss to Belo Jardim on 16 February 2012.[1] He spent most of his early career with various semi-pro clubs in Brazil, before signing with Fortaleza in 2020. Prior to joining Fortaleza, he was in a fine goalscoring form at América de Natal and, previously, spent the latter part of 2019 unemployed and even having a informal job at a bakery. Before the suspension of all football matches in Brazil and worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was the top goalscorer of 2020 in Brazil, all competitions counted.[2]

On 17 August 2021, Orobó joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Jabalain.[3] He was released on 13 January 2022.[4]

On 27 December 2023, Orobó joined K League 1 side Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on a permanent deal, following two seasons with fellow South Korean clubs Gyeongnam FC and Daejeon Hana Citizen.[5][6]
