Club career

Early career

Born in Campinas, São Paulo but raised in São Sebastião do Paraíso, Minas Gerais, Richard began his career with Monte Azul and finished his formation with Comercial-SP.[1] He made his first team debut with the latter on 16 August 2013, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–2 away draw against XV de Piracicaba, for the year's Copa Paulista;[2] it was his only appearance for the club.

After leaving Comercial, Richard represented Atlético Sorocaba[3] and Atibaia,[4] featuring sparingly for both sides.

Fluminense

On 17 August 2017, Richard was presented at Série A side Fluminense on loan, after a recommendation from the club's scouting area.[5] He made his top tier debut on 17 September, starting in a 1–3 away loss against Atlético Paranaense.[6]

On 8 February 2018, Richard signed a permanent four-year contract with Flu.[7] He scored his first goal for the club on 15 April, netting the equalizer in a 1–2 loss at Corinthians.[8]

Corinthians

On 10 December 2018, Richard moved to Corinthians on a four-year deal.[9] Unable to establish himself as a regular starter, he was loaned to Vasco da Gama on 20 June 2019, until December.[10]

Back to Timão for the 2020 campaign, Richard again featured rarely before moving to Athletico Paranaense on 20 July, on a 18-month loan deal for a €500,000 fee.[11]
