Career

Early career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Cajueiro Seco, a small neighborhood in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Pernambuco,[2] Rwan began his career at a local footballing school named Garoto do Futuro before joining Náutico's youth categories. One year later, he joined Sport Recife as they offered a small funding assistance.[3]

Rwan left Sport in the end of 2018 and subsequently signed for Figueirense, but spent nine months without playing at his new side due to a registration problem.[2] He subsequently moved to Flamengo-SP, but returned to his hometown in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and helped his father as a bricklayer.[2][4]

Santos

[edit | edit source]

In June 2020, Rwan agreed to join Santos on loan from Flamengo, being initially assigned to the under-20s.[5] However, due to the club's transfer ban, he was registered only in the following May.[6]

Rwan spent the 2021 season playing for Santos' under-20 and under-23 sides, and signed a permanent three-year deal on 16 December of that year.[7] He made his professional debut on 20 February 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Lucas Braga in a 3–0 Campeonato Paulista home loss against São Paulo.[8]

Rwan scored his first senior goal on 23 February 2022, netting his team's third in a 3–0 away win over Salgueiro, for the year's Copa do Brasil.[9]

Loan to Vasco da Gama

[edit | edit source]

On 31 March 2023, Rwan was loaned to fellow top tier side Vasco da Gama until the end of the year, with a buyout clause.[10]

Ludogorets Razgrad

[edit | edit source]

On 22 July 2023, Rwan was announced at Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad on loan for one year, with a buyout option.[11] In January 2024, he signed a permanent contract with the club, with Nonato moving in the opposite direction.

Botafogo

[edit | edit source]

On 7 February 2025, Botafogo announced the signing of Rwan on a four-year contract.[12]
