Career

Flamengo

Erick is considered one of the most talented young players of Flamengo. After catching everyone attention inside the club, he got promoted to the first-team in the first half of 2008 and signed his first professional contract until December 31, 2012. His first official match was on Mineirão coming from the bench in the 1-1 draw against Atlético Mineiro on July 9, 2008.^[2]

Ceará

For the 2010 season Flamengo loaned out Erick to the recently Brazilian Série A promoted club Ceará expecting him to get more first team experience.^[3]

FK Kukësi

He left Boavista and Brazil for the first time in his professional career to join Albanian Superliga side FK Kukësi ahead of the Europa League first qualifying round. He made his FK Kukësi and European debut on 2 July 2015 against Belarusian side FC Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, where he played the full 90 minutes in the 2–0 win.^[4]

In the second match of second qualifying round, Flores scored the third goal of the team in the 32nd minute of the match, in an eventual 4–2 away win, helping Kukësi to qualify in the next round with the aggregate 4–3.^[5]

In the 2015-2016 season, he established himself as a regular starter for the club since his arrival from Brazil. He scored 6 league goals in 30 league appearances in which he started in every game he played in the league, along with 2 goals in the Albanian Cup.
