Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Fabiano played for the youth sides of Penapolense, and made his senior debut with the club in the 2017 Copa Paulista. In 2018, after a short period back to the under-20 side of Linense, he moved abroad with Portuguese side Braga.[1]

Braga

[edit]

Fabiano was promoted to the reserves in the Campeonato de Portugal ahead of the 2019–20 season, and scored his first goal for the side on 2 February 2020, netting the opener in a 2–1 away defeat to Fafe. He made his first team debut on 4 July, coming on as a half-time substitute for Diogo Viana in a 4–0 home routing of Desportivo Aves.[2][3]

Loan to Académica

[edit]

On 2 October 2020, Fabiano was loaned to Liga Portugal 2 side Académica de Coimbra.[4] He scored his first professional goal late in the month, netting his side's third in a 3–0 home win over Oliveirense, and finished the season as a starter.

Return from loan

[edit]

Upon returning, Fabiano became a regular option for the Minhotas, sharing the staring spot with Yan Couto.[5][6] After Couto left, he was initially backup to new signing Víctor Gómez, but featured regularly after Gómez was sidelined due to an injury.[7]

Loan to Kasımpaşa

[edit]

On 1 February 2023, Fabiano moved to Turkey after agreeing to a six-month loan deal with Kasımpaşa, with a buyout clause.[8] He featured in nine matches for the side, helping them to avoid relegation.

Moreirense

[edit]

On 9 August 2023, recently-promoted to Primeira Liga side Moreirense announced the signing of Fabiano on a three-year contract,[9] having paid a reported 700,000 fee for 50% of the player's economic rights.[10]
