Rodrigo Souza Santos (born 7 August 2002), commonly known as Alencar, is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Retrô.
Career
[edit]Born in Itabuna in the state of Bahia, Alencar began his career with Associação Desportiva Barra, before joining Retrô, where he was named the best midfielder in the Pernambuco Under-20 Championship in 2020.[2] These impressive performances at youth level prompted Série A side Flamengo to sign him on loan for the entirety of the 2021 season.[2]
After turning professional with Retrô the following season, Alencar was loaned to Série C side Paysandu in August 2023.[3][4] Despite initially being thrust into the first team, he only managed four appearances for Paysandu after suffering an injury, before returning to Retrô.[5]
Style of play
[edit]A defensive midfielder, Alencar describes himself as an "intense" player in both marking and attacking, stating that he likes to "play freely".[6]
