Career

Early career

Born in Morro da Fumaça, Santa Catarina, Moisés played amateur football until joining Hercílio Luz in 2019.[1] He appeared in his first senior match on 16 January of that year, playing the last five minutes of a 2–2 Campeonato Catarinense away draw against Atlético Tubarão;[2] he scored his first goal ten days later, in a 4–0 home routing of Metropolitano.[3]

After being mainly used as a substitute, Moisés was loaned to Concórdia for the second division of the Catarinense.[4] After achieving promotion to the top tier and being the top goalscorer of the tournament, he signed a permanent contract with the club.[5]

On 23 September 2019, Moisés moved to Brusque on loan for the year's Copa Santa Catarina.[6] He returned to his parent club in December, after lifting the trophy and being again the top goalscorer,[5] and renewed his contract with Concórdia until 2022 on 5 June 2020.[7]

Ponte Preta

On 26 June 2020, Moisés agreed to a loan deal with Série B side Ponte Preta until April 2021.[8] Initially a backup option, he started to feature regularly during the 2020 Série B, and scored a hat-trick in a 7–2 away success over Figueirense on 29 January 2021.[9] On 3 May, Ponte signed him permanently on a contract until 2024.[10]

Fortaleza

On 22 January 2022, Série A side Fortaleza announced the signing of Moisés on a three-year contract, after the club acquired 90% of his economic rights.[11] He made his debut in the category on 10 April, in a 1–0 home loss to Cuiabá, and scored his first top tier goal on 15 May, in a 3–1 defeat to Botafogo.

Regularly used, Moisés renewed his link with Laion until December 2025 on 2 May 2023.[12]

Cruz Azul

On 31 May 2023, Moisés moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Liga MX side Cruz Azul for a rumoured fee of US$ 4.8 million, becoming the biggest sale of a club from the Northeast Region.[13]

Fortaleza return

On 28 December 2023, Fortaleza announced the return of Moisés to the club on a contract until December 2027; the club bought him back for a fee of US$ 3.8 million, although 1.8 million were deducted to end Cruz Azul'a debt with Fortaleza.[14] A regular starter in the 2024 season, he struggled with injuries during half of the 2025 campaign.[15]
