Club career

Born in São Vicente, São Paulo, Felipe graduated from Santos's prolific youth setup, and was promoted to the main squad in 2006, initially as a third-choice. On 6 September 2006 he made his first team debut, starting in a 1–0 home win against Cruzeiro, for that year's Copa Sudamericana.[2]

Felipe made his Série A debut four days later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Fortaleza.[3] On 5 October, in a derby against Corinthians, he replaced Fábio Costa in the sixth minute of the match, after the latter suffered an injury, and was a key unit in his side's 3–0 away win.[4]

Felipe was included in Brazil's preliminary squad for the Beijing Summer Olympics, but was eventually not included in the final list for that competition by coach Dunga.

Still as a second-choice in the following campaigns, Felipe was loaned to Paraná[5] and subsequently Portuguesa Santista[6] before returning to Peixe in May 2009, after another injury from Fábio Costa.[7] He was made a starter for the rest of the season, appearing in 25 league matches.

Felipe started 2010 as a first-choice, but subsequently lost his spot to another youth graduate, Rafael.[8] After an altercation with supporters through a social media, he was left out of the squad, and loaned to Avaí[9] and Náutico,[10] respectively.

On 3 January 2013 Felipe joined Timbu permanently, signing a two-year deal.[11] On 1 October he left the club, and moved to Fluminense.[12]

After being mainly a backup to Diego Cavalieri, Felipe was released in December 2014. On 6 May, of the following year he signed for Portuguesa, in Série C.[13]

After spending six months without a club, Felipe joined Anápolis in 2016,[14] and moved to Atlético Goianiense in June of that year.[15] Despite becoming a first-choice at the latter, he moved abroad to join Primeira Liga side Moreirense on 25 August 2017.[16]

After just to Taça da Liga matches, Felipe returned to his home country with CSA on 26 June 2018.[17] On 4 January of the following year, he agreed to a deal with Tombense.[18]

On 2 October 2019, Felipe was loaned to Sport Recife until the end of the year.[19] He returned to Tombense for the 2020 season, after not playing any matches for Sport, and subsequently established himself as an undisputed starter for the side.

On 13 December 2024, Felipe signed a one-year deal with ABC.[20]
