Born in Porto Franco, Rafinha is a graduate of the youth setup of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. After winning the 2011 São Paulo Junior Football Cup, he was given the nickname "Neymar da Gávea" (Neymar of Gávea). In 2013, he was promoted to the senior team. He scored his first goal in a 4–2 victory against CR Vasco da Gama. Rafinha played 44 matches in the season with his side winning the 2013 Copa do Brasil.[1]
On 7 January 2014, Rafinha joined Esporte Clube Bahia on a year long loan deal, which saw Feijão moving to the opposite side.[2] In the following January he was loaned to Atlético Goianiense after becoming surplus to Flamengo's requirements.[3] He made his Goianense debut against Associação Atlética Anapolina, scoring a goal in the 1–0 victory. However, his form dipped since then and he failed to cement his position in the first team; resulting in the club releasing him on 1 July.[4]
On 4 July 2015, Rafinha was loaned to South Korean club Daejeon Citizen FC.[5] On 23 January 2016, he was loaned to Clube Atlético Metropolitano.[6] In 2017, he was loaned off again, this time on a six month deal to Thai club Thai Honda F.C..[7]
On 3 January 2018, Rafinha moved to Avaí Futebol Clube.[8]
