Born in Santos, São Paulo, Medeiros joined Santos' youth setup in 2006, aged ten.[1] After progressing through the club's youth setup, he was promoted to the main squad on 29 September 2015 by manager Dorival Júnior.[2]

Medeiros made his first team – and Série A – debut on 6 December 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Alison in a 5–1 home routing of Atlético Paranaense.[3] He scored his first senior goal the following 11 May, netting the last in a 3–0 Copa do Brasil away win against Galvez.[4]

On 19 January 2017, after again appearing rarely, Medeiros was loaned to Botafogo-SP until the end of the 2017 Campeonato Paulista.[5] On 22 May, he moved to Série B side Vila Nova also in a temporary deal, until the end of the year.[6]

Upon returning from loan, Medeiros only featured for Santos' B-team.
