Club career

Early career

Born in São Miguel do Oeste, Santa Catarina, Albano was a Vila Nova youth graduate. After appearing with the first team in a friendly in 2015, he made his senior debut on 9 February 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 Campeonato Goiano away win over Aparecidense.

On 1 August 2017, after featuring rarely, Albano was loaned to Jataiense.[1] He started the 2018 season on loan at Formosa,[2] before moving to Trindade in July.

After just one match for Trindade, Albano joined Aparecida in September 2018, helping in the club's promotion from the Campeonato Goiano Terceira Divisão.

Aparecidense

In December 2018, Albano signed for Aparecidense, but featured in only three matches before serving loans at Votuporanguense[3] and Jataiense during the remainder of the 2019 campaign. With the latter, he featured regularly as they missed out promotion from the Campeonato Goiano Segunda Divisão.

Back to Aparecidense for the 2020 season,[4] Albano was a regular starter and scored eight goals in the 2020 Série D, which included two hat-tricks, against União Rondonópolis (4–2 away win) and São Luiz (4–0 away win).

Goiás

On 20 May 2021, Albano signed a three-year contract with Goiás.[5] He helped the club to achieve promotion from the Série B after appearing in 16 matches (only two starts, however).

Despite featuring regularly during the 2022 Campeonato Goiano, Albano was loaned to Remo in the Série C on 25 May of that year.[6] Rarely used, he rescinded his link in July to move to Paraná also in a temporary deal.[7]

On 28 December 2022, after being deemed surplus to requirements by the Esmeraldino, Albano was loaned to Retrô for one year.[8]

Inter de Limeira

On 13 October 2023, Albano agreed to join Inter de Limeira for the upcoming season.[9] A regular starter, he helped the club to reach the quarterfinals of the 2024 Campeonato Paulista and the 2024 Série D.

Ferroviária

After suffering relegation in the 2025 Campeonato Paulista, Albano was loaned to Ferroviária on 21 March of that year.[10] Despite also suffering relegation, he signed a permanent two-year contract with the club on 17 December.[11]
