Career
Born in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Espírito Santo, Pinheiro began playing football in his hometown before joining Duque de Caxias in 2013. He left the club in the following year, and spent the most of 2015 back in Cachoeiro before entering Americano's youth categories late in that year.

On 29 August 2024, after being the captain of Nova Iguaçu as the club reached the finals of the Campeonato Carioca, Pinheiro was loaned to Série B side Brusque until the end of the year. On 8 April 2025, he agreed to a permanent deal with Volta Redonda.
In December 2025, Pinheiro agreed to a loan deal with Portuguesa, but asked to leave the club before the start of the season, after having an offer from Juventude. On 21 January 2026, he was announced at the latter club on a one-year loan deal.
