On 15 September 2010 Paulo Roberto scored his first goal in the main category of Brazilian football, netting his team's second in a 2–4 away loss against Cruzeiro.[2] He finished the season with 34 appearances and two goals, as his side suffered relegation.

In May 2011 Paulo Roberto moved to Atlético Paranaense, also on loan.[3] After appearing in only one match he returned to Audax, winning promotion from Campeonato Paulista Série A2.

On 28 April 2013 Paulo Roberto joined Ponte Preta in a permanent deal.[4] On 27 September, after failing to impress at Macaca, he was loaned to Figueirense.[5]
