Morato was born in Francisco Morato, São Paulo, Morato finished his formation with Olé Brasil. In 2011 he moved abroad, joining K League Classic side Gyeongnam FC.

Morato made his professional debut on 23 July 2011, coming on as a late substitute for Yoon Bit-garam in a 2–2 away draw against Incheon United. After six matches, only two as a starter, he was released.

On 7 August 2018, Morato was loaned to fellow top-tier side Sport as a part of Everton Felipe's deal to São Paulo.[7] On 15 January 2019, Ituano announced that Morato had returned to the club.[8]

In April 2019, after performing well in the state league for Ituano, Morato was transferred to newly merged Red Bull Bragantino,[9] where he won the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.
