Born in Itaquaquecetuba, São Paulo, Igor was an Elosport youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the club during the 2018 Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão, and moved to Portuguesa in the following year, initially to the under-20 team.

Promoted to the first team for the 2021 season, Igor made his senior debut on 14 September 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Cesinha in a 2–1 home win over Juventus-SP, for the year's Copa Paulista.[1] The following 4 February, after three more matches, he renewed his contract until May 2023.[2]

Initially out of Lusa's list for the 2023 Campeonato Paulista, Igor was registered by the club in the place of injured Pedro Bortoluzo on 26 February 2023.[3] He made his first match of the season on 5 March, replacing goalscorer João Victor in a 2–1 away win over Mirassol, as the club narrowly avoided relegation.[4]
