João Igor was born in Jardinópolis, São Paulo, and joined Santos' youth setup in 2011, from Olé Brasil.[1] In 2016 he was promoted to the B-team, and made his senior debut on 28 September by starting in a 2–0 home win against Catanduvense, for the year's Copa Paulista.

On 29 September 2017, João Igor signed a new five-year deal with the club.[2]

On 8 January 2019, João Igor agreed to a short-term loan deal with Série B side Sport Recife.[3] He made his professional debut on 27 January, coming on as a second-half substitute for goalscorer Ezequiel in a 3–1 home win against Náutico for the Campeonato Pernambucano championship.[4] Fourteen days later he scored his first goal, netting the third in a 3–0 home defeat of Petrolina.[5]

João Igor made his Série B debut on 26 April 2019, replacing Ronaldo late into a 1–1 home draw against Oeste. On 30 December, after helping with 15 league matches as Sport achieved promotion to the top tier, he agreed to a permanent two-year deal after the club bought 50% of his federative rights.[6]
