Born in Cachoeiro do Itapemirim, Espírito Santo, Serafim only played amateur football in his home state before joining Guarani's youth sides in 2017, aged already 18, after a trial period.^[2] He made his senior debut with the club on 22 July of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Caíque in a 1–1 away draw against CRB.^[3]

Portugal

On 31 August 2018, after being rarely used, Serafim moved abroad and joined Portuguese LigaPro side Oliveirense on a three-year contract.^[4] He made his debut abroad on 22 September, replacing compatriot Alef Manga in a 1–1 home draw against Porto B, but also featured rarely for his new side.

On 18 July 2019, Serafim moved to Alverca.^[5] However, he only featured with the B-team in the Lison FA Second Division.

Return to Brazil

On 20 April 2024, São José announced Serafim's loan to Amazonas in the second division until the end of the year.^[13] He quickly gained prominence at the club,^[14] especially due to his performance against Flamengo in the 2024 Copa do Brasil.^[15][2]
