Club career

A Vitória youth graduate, Rafaelson was accused of having an illegal age in April 2015,[2] a claim which was later dismissed by the club.[3] He was promoted to the first team in September, by manager Vágner Mancini.[4]

Rafaelson made his professional debut on 5 September 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Robert in a 1–2 home loss against Botafogo for the Série B championship. His first goal came on 31 October, netting the last in a 2–3 home loss against Náutico. He contributed with seven appearances during the campaign, as his side achieved promotion to Série A.

On 30 June 2016 Rafaelson made his top tier debut, replacing Tiago Real in a 3–2 home win against Sport.

On 13 April 2019 Rafaelson moved to Denmark and joined Næstved BK.[5] Næstved announced on 12 January 2020, that they had sold Rafaelson to Duoc Nam Ha Nam Dinh in the V.League 1.[6]
