Career

Born in Goiânia, Goiás, Juninho started his career with Aparecida Esporte Clube in 2009.[2] In July 2012, after a stint at Rio Verde, he moved to Mogi Mirim and played a part in the club's promotion campaign in the Série D.

On 28 May 2013, Juninho signed for Série A side Atlético Paranaense.[3] He made his debut in the category on 1 June, coming on as a first-half substitute for Deivid in a 2–2 home draw against Flamengo.

After being deemed surplus to requirements, Juninho was loaned to Ponte Preta,[4] Ferroviária[5] and América Mineiro.[6] He signed permanently with the latter on 7 February 2017, after agreeing to a two-year deal.[7]
