Chiquinho scored his first goal in the top division on 5 June 2013, netting the first in a 3–4 home loss against Atlético Paranaense.[7] He was also a regular during Ponte's Copa Sudamericana run, scoring one goal in eight appearances.

On 10 January 2014 Chiquinho joined Fluminense, in a one-year deal.[8] He was a regular starter during his spell, being mostly used as a left back and overtaking longtime incumbent Carlinhos.

On 8 January 2015 Chiquinho signed for Santos, after agreeing to a one-year contract.[9] He made his debut for the club on 1 February, starting and scoring the second in a 3–0 home win against Ituano.[10]
