Club career[edit]

Santos[edit]

Born in Fortaleza, Ceará, Doka joined Santos' youth setup in August 2010, at the age of ten.[1] He made his senior debut with the B-team on 11 August 2018, playing the last ten minutes of a 1–0 home win against Água Santa, for the year's Copa Paulista.[2]

On 5 October 2018, Doka signed his first professional contract with the club, agreeing to a three-year deal.[3] On 23 September 2021, he further extended his link for two more seasons.[4]

On 20 December 2021, Doka was loaned to FC Cascavel for the ensuing Campeonato Paranaense.[5] He made his professional debut the following 27 January, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 home win over União.

Doka scored his first senior goal on 10 February 2022, netting a last-minute winner through a direct free kick in a 2–1 home success over Paraná.[6] On 28 October, his loan was extended for the 2023 season,[7] but was released by the club on 13 January 2023 on a mutual agreement.[8]

On 17 January 2023, Doka was announced at São Joseense.[9] On 7 July, he left Santos after 13 years.[10]

Central Coast Mariners[edit]

On 2 August 2023, Doka signed for Central Coast Mariners of the A-League Men.[11] Doka scored his first goal for the club against Western Sydney Wanderers at Central Coast Stadium on 18 February 2024, converting a penalty to score the only goal of the game.[12]

Doka was part of the Mariners' 2023–24 premiership winning season, in his first season with the club.[13]
