Career

[edit]

Bahia

[edit]

Born in Brumado, Bahia, Brazil, Júnior Brumado progressed through the academy of EC Bahia. He made his Campeonato Brasileiro Série A debut on 17 July 2017 in a 1–1 draw against Avaí.[2] On 21 April 2018, he scored his first professional goal in a league game against Santos, after coming on as a late substitute for Marco Antonio to seal the narrow 1–0 win.[3]

With Bahia club, Brumado participated in the 2018 Copa Sudamericana and contributed with a goal against Bolivian club Blooming on 24 May 2018.[4] Bahia were knocked out in the quarter-finals by eventual winner Athletico Paranaense after a penalty shootout.[5]

Midtjylland

[edit]

On 30 January 2019, Brumado signed a five-year contract with Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland for a fee reported to be DKK 16 million. Bahia had also secured a resale clause of 15 percent.[6] He made his debut on 14 April in a 2–0 win over OB, coming on for Mayron George in the 77th minute.[7]

On 31 January 2020, as part of a deal which sent Silkeborg player Ronnie Schwartz to Midtjylland, Brumado was sent to Silkeborg to replace Schwartz, on a loan deal for the rest of the season.[8] He made his first appearance for the club on 16 February in a 2–0 home loss to AaB.[9][10] His first goal for Silkeborg – as well as his first goal in the Danish league – followed on 9 March in a 2–1 win over AGF.[11]

Ahead of the 2020–21 season, Brumado returned to Midtjylland. He scored his first goal for the club on 26 August 2020, which proved to be the winner in a 1–0 win in the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Ludogorets Razgrad.[12]

He scored his first hat-trick on 3 October 2021, securing a 4–0 win over AGF.[13] On 15 January 2022, he extended his contract with Midtjylland until December 2026.[14]

Loan to Hansa Rostock

[edit]

On 1 September 2023, Brumado joined German 2. Bundesliga club Hansa Rostock on a season-long loan.[15] He made his debut for Hansa on 16 September, replacing Kai Pröger in the 67th minute of a 3–1 home loss against Fortuna Düsseldorf.[16] On 24 September, in his second match for Die Ostseestädter, Brumado not only made his first start but also scored his debut goal for the club as they lost 3–1 to 1. FC Kaiserslautern.[17]

On 4 May 2024, German media reported that Brumado had been kicked off the team after criticising the coach in an interview.[18] Three days later, on 7 May 2024, it was announced that Hansa would not activate Brumado's purchase option and he returned to Midtjylland after his stay in Germany.[19]

Return to Midtjylland

[edit]

Upon his return to Midtjylland ahead of the 2024–25 season, Brumado once again criticized his coach, this time describing his relationship with manager Thomas Thomasberg as "bad" due to disagreements over his fitness levels and resulting lack of playing time. Brumado also stated, "I have told FCM [FC Midtjylland, ed.] that I don't want to be here, and their opinion is the same."[20]

Loan to Coritiba

[edit]

On 25 July 2024, Brumado was sent on another loan, this time on a one-year deal to recently relegated Brazilian Série B club Coritiba.[21]
