In December 2022, after representing Nacional de Muriaé and Trindade, Ben-Hur agreed to a deal with Sertãozinho.[6] He moved to Boa Esporte on 28 April 2023,[7] before being loaned out to CEOV on 26 July.[8]

On 20 December 2023, Ben-Hur was presented in the squad of Jataiense for the upcoming campaign.[9] He joined Santo André the following 5 April, before being announced at Portuguesa on 26 July 2024.[10]
