Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Girotto was born in Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul. He made his senior debut with Metropolitano in 2010.[2] After a short loan stint at Hercílio Luz in 2011,[3] he established himself as a starter and played key role during the 2013 Campeonato Catarinense, helping his side to qualify for the Série D.

On 26 April 2013, Girotto moved to América Mineiro, signing a contract until December 2014.[4] He made his debut for the club on 1 June by starting in a 1–0 Série B away win against Palmeiras, and scored his first goals on 5 July after netting his team's all goals in a 2–2 home draw against Paraná.

Palmeiras

[edit]

On 20 December 2014, Girotto signed a one-year contract with Série A club Palmeiras.[5] Not registered in the 2015 Campeonato Paulista, he made his club debut on 29 April, coming on as a second-half substitute for Renato Augusto in a 1–1 away draw against Sampaio Corrêa, for the year's Copa do Brasil.

Girotto made his debut in the top tier of Brazilian football on 1 July 2015, replacing Arouca late into a 2–0 home win against Chapecoense. His first goal in the category came on 23 August, but in a 2–1 away loss against Atlético Mineiro.

On 1 October 2015, Girotto scored Palmeiras' winning goal in a 3–2 home win over Internacional, which led the club to the finals of the cup.

Kyoto Sanga

[edit]

On 18 December 2015, Girotto was released by Palmeiras, and moved abroad for the first time in his career after joining Kyoto Sanga.[6] He was an undisputed starter for the side, scoring five goals as the club missed promotion in the play-offs.

Chapecoense

[edit]

On 4 January 2017, Girotto returned to Brazil and signed with Chapecoense for one season.[7] He helped the club to win the year's Campeonato Catarinense, scoring four goals in the competition.

Nantes

[edit]

On 12 August 2017, Ligue 1 club FC Nantes announced the signing of Girotto on a four-year deal.[8] On 16 September 2017, he scored his first competitive goal for Nantes with a low shot 30 yards from goal that bent its way into the net off the right-hand post in a Ligue 1 1–0 home win over Caen.[9]

Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Girotto was converted into a centre-back, and subsequently played regularly in that position.

Al-Taawoun

[edit]

On 6 August 2023, Girotto joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Taawoun on a two-year deal.[10][11] He made his club debut seven days later, also scoring his first goal in a 1–1 draw against Al-Fateh.[12]
