Rodrigo Gomes dos Santos (born 13 October 1993), commonly known as Rodrigão (Brazilian Portuguese: [hodɾiˈgɐ̃w]), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a striker for Sport Recife.

Club career[]

Early career[]

Born in Belmonte, Bahia,[1] Rodrigão joined Democrata-GV in late 2013, after impressing on a trial basis.[2] He made his debut for the club in the following year, in Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II. In March 2015 he moved to Boa Esporte.

Rodrigão made his professional debut on 8 May 2015, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Atlético Goianiense for the Série B championship.[3] On 9 June, after appearing in only five games, he was released.[4]

Campinense[]

On 19 June 2015 Rodrigão joined Campinense in Série D.[5] On 12 July he scored a brace in a 2–0 home win against Globo, and added a hat-trick in a 3–1 win against Coruripe on 16 August.[6]

Rodrigão started the 2016 season with a match-winning goal in a 2–1 Campeonato Paraibano home success over CSP on 30 January.[7] He also scored two further hat-tricks in the following month, against Esporte de Patos (7–1 home win)[8] and Imperatriz (3–0 away win).[9]

Santos[]

On 19 March 2016 Rodrigão agreed to a pre-contract with Série A club Santos, with the deal being effective on 1 June.[10] He signed a five-year contract with the club on 30 May, being immediately included in the first team squad.[11]

Rodrigão made his Peixe – and Série A – debut on 22 June 2016, starting and scoring his team's first in a 4–2 away win against Fluminense; he also provided the assist for Luiz Felipe's fourth goal.[12] He added his second goal four days later, the second in a 3–0 home success over São Paulo.[13]

Rodrigão acted mainly as a backup to Ricardo Oliveira during the rest of the year, and scored only league three goals. He started the 2017 campaign by scoring a double in a 6–2 Campeonato Paulista home routing of Linense, as Oliveira was still recuperating from mumps.[14]

On 7 July 2017, after struggling with injuries and being demoted to third-choice after the arrival of Kayke, Rodrigão was loaned to fellow top tier club Bahia until the end of the season.[15]

Back to Santos, Rodrigão began the 2018 season as a starter under new manager Jair Ventura. On 9 April of that year, after losing competition to new signings Eduardo Sasha and Gabriel, he was loaned to Série B side Avaí until December.[16]

On 6 February 2019, Rodrigão was presented at Coritiba still in the second division, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal.[17] On 30 December, after helping with 13 league goals as his side achieved promotion, he joined Ceará in the top tier, on loan for one year.[18]

In November 2020, after falling down the pecking order, Rodrigão left Ceará and returned to his former side Avaí, also in a temporary deal.[19] He also featured rarely at his new side, and moved to Ponte Preta on loan on 8 June 2021.[20]

Sport Recife[]

In February 2022, Rodrigão terminated his contract with Santos and joined Sport Recife on a short-term deal.[21]
