Born in Penápolis, São Paulo, Matheuzinho joined Corinthians' youth setup in 2009, aged 16, after starting it out at São Paulo.[1] In 2012, after a short loan stint at Flamengo de Guarulhos, he was promoted to the main squad in 2012 by manager Tite.[2]

On 15 April 2012 Matheuzinho played his first match as a professional, coming on as a late substitute for Vitor Júnior in a 2–1 away win against Ponte Preta for the Campeonato Paulista championship.[3] He subsequently served loans at Bragantino,[4] Grêmio Osasco Audax[5] and Guaratinguetá[6] before being released in 2014.

In 2015 Matheuzinho returned to Audax, now in a permanent deal.[7] On 18 July, after being a regular starter for the club, he was loaned to Primeira Liga side G.D. Estoril Praia in a season-long deal.[8]

On 1 January 2019, Matheuzinho signed for Atlético Goianiense.[9]
