Career

Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Hipólito was an América Mineiro youth graduate. He moved to Spain in 2015, making his senior debut with Tercera Andaluza side Brenes Balompié, later returning to his home country and playing with an amateur side in his hometown before signing for Noroeste.[1][2]

In 2016, Hipólito joined Tupynambás as the club had just returned to a professional status.[3] He subsequently served loan stints at Novo Horizonte,[4] Noroeste[5] and Coimbra, before signing for Série C side Boa Esporte in May 2019.

In October 2019, Hipólito returned to Coimbra, now on a permanent deal. On 14 September of that year, he moved to Volta Redonda in the third division on loan.[6]

On 27 May 2021, after playing the 2021 Campeonato Mineiro back at Coimbra, Hipólito was announced at Ferroviária.[7] He joined Villa Nova ahead of the 2022 season,[8] and was announced at Série B side Sampaio Corrêa on 6 April of that year.[9]

On 17 November 2022, after suffering relegation, Hipólito agreed to a contract with Operário Ferroviário.[10] Roughly one year later, after achieving promotion, he signed a new one-year deal.[11]

On 19 December 2024, Hipólito was announced at Portuguesa for the upcoming season.[12]
