Luiz Felipe Castro Neto (born 13 February 1995), commonly known as Castro, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre-back for Atlético Goianiense.

Career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Castro represented hometown side São Cristóvão as a youth.[1] He began his senior career with Coríntians, and subsequently represented Olaria, Amparo and Icasa, impressing in the 2017 Copa Fares Lopes with the latter.[2]

On 9 March 2018, Castro was announced at Ferroviário,[3] but left in April after just three matches. He had a short spell abroad with Portuguese side Alcanenense, before spending the 2019 season with Cascavel CR.

On 19 November 2019, Castro agreed to a deal with Capital,[4] but was announced at Anapolina on 2 January 2020.[5] On 7 February, after just one match, he moved to Caucaia.[6]

Castro returned to Cascavel for the 2021 campaign, but was suspended by the Federação Paranaense de Futebol for six matches after his club provided false COVID-19 test results.[7] He subsequently returned to Caucaia, but finished the year with Rio São Paulo (pt).

Castro played the 2022 Campeonato Baiano with UNIRB, but moved to Garibaldi for the year's Copa FGF.[8] In December of that year, he was named in the squad of Águia de Marabá for the upcoming season,[9] and was a regular starter as the club won the 2023 Campeonato Paraense.

On 23 June 2023, Águia confirmed that Castro had agreed to a deal with Série B side Ponte Preta.[10] He only became a starter in the latter stages of the year,[11] but started the 2024 campaign as a first-choice.

On 31 January 2025, after losing his starting spot, Castro moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Bolivian Primera División side The Strongest.[12]
