Starting from 2017, he had a series of loan spells at various clubs, most notably at Vila Nova in 2019, with 39 appearances and two goals, and at Juventude between 2020 and 2021, appearing 31 times, scoring thrice and helping them to a third-place finish in the 2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, which meant to the club a return to the top division after a 14-year absence.
