Club career

Born in Limoeiro do Norte, Ceará, Yago joined Figueirense's youth setup in 2011, after spells with Flamengo and Botafogo. He also had a trial period at RCD Espanyol, but nothing came of it.

On 9 November 2014 Yago made his Série A debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 home win against state rivals Chapecoense. He was made a starter by manager Argel Fucks in the following year.

In April 2019, he joined Goiás on loan until the end of 2019.

In 2023, Yago was sold from Fluminense to Bahia. In 2025, he was loaned to Mirassol.
