Rodriguinho

The goal came in the Copa do Brasil, against Palmeiras — one strike, and the only one Rodriguinho has registered so far in a Fortaleza shirt. It arrived in a season spent mostly in Série B, where he has played 18 matches since arriving on loan from Cruzeiro in February 2026.

Cruzeiro were where the story started and where it first stopped: he came through their Sub-15 and Sub-17 sides before being released. América-MG picked him up, and it was there that he had his longest run of football. In 2022 he made 4 appearances in Série A and 8 in the Campeonato Mineiro; the following year he played 20 times in Série A, 6 in the Copa Sudamericana and 9 in the state championship, scoring twice.

In December 2024 he joined Cruzeiro on a free transfer, signing until the end of 2027. One Série A appearance and two in the Campeonato Mineiro across 2025, and by August he had been loaned to Ceará, where four Série A matches saw out the campaign.

He is listed as a midfielder and has also been used further forward. No titles yet, no individual honours — a career still measured in appearances rather than medals, with the Cruzeiro contract waiting at the other end of the loan.
