Rodrigo Pinho

Rodrigo Pinho was born in Henstedt-Ulzburg, Germany, to Brazilian parents and holds Brazilian citizenship. He began his youth career at Bangu Atlético Clube in Brazil, and his senior career started there in 2011. A loan to Associação Desportiva Cabofriense followed in 2013, before he moved to Madureira Esporte Clube on loan in April 2014, later joining permanently once his contract with Bangu expired.

In June 2015, Pinho transferred to S.C. Braga in Portugal. He spent time with Braga B and had a loan spell at C.D. Nacional in 2016, before signing for C.S. Marítimo on a free transfer in June 2017, where he stayed for four seasons. In June 2021, he joined S.L. Benfica on a free transfer and signed a five-year deal, but a ruptured cruciate ligament shortly after his arrival kept him out for the rest of the 2021/22 season. He went on to make only three appearances for Benfica's first team.

In December 2022, Pinho moved to Coritiba Foot Ball Club in Brazil, scoring five goals in 22 league appearances before his contract was terminated by mutual agreement in January 2024. He then joined C.F. Estrela da Amadora that same month. Across the 2024/25 season he made 35 appearances for the club and scored six goals. He has never been capped by the Brazilian senior national team.
