Emerson Barbosa Rodrigues dos Santos (born 18 August 1998), simply known as Emerson, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a left-back for Guarani.

Club career

Born in Cacoal, Rondônia, Emerson joined Santos' youth setup in 2016, from Flamengo.[1] On 8 November of that year, he signed his first professional contract until 2019.[2]

On 1 December 2017, as Caju, Jean Mota and Orinho were all injured, Emerson was called up to train with the first team by manager Elano.[3] He was included in the 21-man list for the match against Avaí the following day.[4]

Emerson made his first team – and Série A debut on 3 December 2017, coming on as a substitute for Emiliano Vecchio in a 1–1 home draw against the Santa Catarina-based club.[5] For the 2018 campaign, he only featured with the under-23 squad.

On 17 December 2018, Emerson was presented at Tupi.[6] The following 27 February, however, he was announced at CRAC after cutting ties with his previous club,[7] but only played one match for the latter before moving to Vitória-ES in May.
