Rodrigo Gomes dos Santos (born 13 October 1993), commonly known as Rodrigão (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʁodɾiˈgɐ̃w]), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a striker.
Born in Belmonte, Bahia, [1] Rodrigão joined Democrata-GV in late 2013, after impressing on a trial basis. [2] He made his debut for the club in the following year, in Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II. In March 2015 he moved to Boa Esporte.
Rodrigão made his professional debut on 8 May 2015, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Atlético Goianiense for the Série B championship. [3] On 9 June, after appearing in only five games, he was released. [4]
On 19 June 2015 Rodrigão joined Campinense in Série D. [5] On 12 July he scored a brace in a 2–0 home win against Globo, and added a hat-trick in a 3–1 win against Coruripe on 16 August. [6]
Rodrigão started the 2016 season with a match-winning goal in a 2–1 Campeonato Paraibano home success over CSP on 30 January. [7] He also scored two further hat-tricks in the following month, against Esporte de Patos (7–1 home win) [8] and Imperatriz (3–0 away win). [9]
On 19 March 2016 Rodrigão agreed to a pre-contract with Série A club Santos, with the deal being effective on 1 June. [10] He signed a five-year contract with the club on 30 May, being immediately included in the first team squad. [11]
Rodrigão made his Peixe – and Série A – debut on 22 June 2016, starting and scoring his team's first in a 4–2 away win against Fluminense; he also provided the assist for Luiz Felipe's fourth goal. [12] He added his second goal four days later, the second in a 3–0 home success over São Paulo. [13]
Rodrigão acted mainly as a backup to Ricardo Oliveira during the rest of the year, and scored only league three goals. He started the 2017 campaign by scoring a double in a 6–2 Campeonato Paulista home routing of Linense, as Oliveira was still recuperating from mumps. [14]
On 7 July 2017, after struggling with injuries and being demoted to third-choice after the arrival of Kayke, Rodrigão was loaned to fellow top tier club Bahia until the end of the season. [15]
Back to Santos, Rodrigão began the 2018 season as a starter under new manager Jair Ventura. On 9 April of that year, after losing competition to new signings Eduardo Sasha and Gabriel, he was loaned to Série B side Avaí until December. [16]
On 6 February 2019, Rodrigão was presented at Coritiba still in the second division, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal. [17] On 30 December, after helping with 13 league goals as his side achieved promotion, he joined Ceará in the top tier, on loan for one year. [18]
In November 2020, after falling down the pecking order, Rodrigão left Ceará and returned to his former side Avaí, also in a temporary deal. [19] He also featured rarely at his new side, and moved to Ponte Preta on loan on 8 June 2021. [20]
In February 2022, Rodrigão terminated his contract with Santos and joined Sport Recife on a short-term deal. [21]
