Career

Early career

Born in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Erick played for social projects in his hometown before having a trial at Figueirense at the age of 17. After being rejected, he returned to his hometown and joined the youth categories of Villa Nova before moving to Arapongas in 2016, where he would make his senior debut in the year's Campeonato Paranaense Série Bronze. Initially a right-back, he played as a centre-back before establishing himself as a defensive midfielder.[1]

Erick moved to PSTC ahead of the 2017 season,[2] being regularly used before moving to Operário Ferroviário on loan for the 2017 Taça FPF.[3] He remained at the latter club for the 2018 campaign,[4] helping the club to win both the 2018 Campeonato Paranaense Série Prata and the 2018 Série C.[5]

Athletico Paranaense

On 28 September 2018, it was reported that Athletico Paranaense reached an agreement to sign Erick.[6] He was announced by his new club on 9 January 2019, being initially assigned to an under-23 squad for the 2019 Campeonato Paranaense,[7] and made his club debut ten days later, in a 1–0 home loss to Cascavel CR.[8]

Erick scored his first goal for Furacão on 27 January 2019, netting the opener in a 2–0 away win over Rio Branco-PR; it was also his first start for the club.[9] He later started to feature with the main squad, and made his Série A debut on 5 May, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Chapecoense.[10]

Erick scored his first goal in the top tier on 10 October 2019, netting Athletico's second in a 2–2 away draw against Corinthians. The following 14 January, after establishing himself as a first team member, he renewed his contract with the club until 2025.[11]

Erick had his best individual inputs for Athletico during the 2023 season, where he scored eight goals and provided eight assists.[12] On 11 April 2024, he further extended his link until 2026,[13] and played his 250th match for the club in June.[14]
