Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Ferraz made his senior debut with Iraty in 2008. In the following year, he moved to São José-RS and played for Águia de Marabá in 2010.[1]
Atlético Goianiense / Vila Nova
[edit]In May 2010, Ferraz joined Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Atlético Goianiense.[2] He made his division debut on 8 August, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Ceará.[3]
Ferraz scored his first Série A goal on 22 August, in a 1–1 away draw against Internacional.[4] Atlético released him in July 2011, and subsequently joined Vila Nova.[5]
Bragantino / Coritiba
[edit]On 5 January 2012, Ferraz joined Bragantino.[6] In August, he moved to Coritiba;[7] initially as a backup to Ayrton, he appeared regularly during the remainder of the campaign, and was also an ever-present figure the following year.
Santos
[edit]
On 24 June 2014, Ferraz signed a one-and-a-half-year deal with Santos.[8] He debuted for the club on 17 July, starting in a 2–0 home win over Palmeiras.[9]
In 2015, Ferraz was one of the most used players by Peixe, and after the departure of Cicinho, was assigned the no. 4 shirt.[10] On 18 August, he scored his first goal for the club, netting the game's only goal through a direct free kick in a 1–0 home success over Vasco.[11]
On 3 August 2016, Ferraz completed his 100th game for the club, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Flamengo.[12] He made his Copa Libertadores debut on 9 March of the following year, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Sporting Cristal.[13]
On 9 March 2018, Ferraz extended his contract until 2020.[14] For the 2019 campaign, he became team captain after the departure of David Braz and the retirement of Renato.
Grêmio
[edit]On 14 December 2019, Ferraz moved to fellow top-tier side Grêmio on a two-year deal, with Madson moving in the opposite direction.[15] Regularly used during the 2020 season, he terminated his link with the club on 9 November 2021, after just three matches in the year.[16]
Later career
[edit]
On 7 April 2022, after nearly a year without playing a match, Ferraz signed for Náutico.[17] After two seasons as a regular starter, he left the club in August 2023 to join Chapecoense.[18]
On 18 January 2024, Ferraz joined Paraguayan side Tacuary and played abroad for the first time in his career.[19] He returned to his home country after signing for Serra Branca in his native state on 4 December,[20]
Ferraz departed Serra Branca on 19 March 2026,[21] and announced his retirement at the age of 38 on 20 April.[22]
Coaching career
[edit]On 20 May 2026, Ferraz was appointed permanent assistant coach of Botafogo-PB, a club he already represented as a youth.[23] On 27 September, he was named interim head coach of the side for the remaining two matches of the season, replacing sacked Marcelo Fernandes.[24]
Personal life
[edit]Victor Ferraz is a devout Evangelical Christian, being the child of missionary parents of the Assembleias de Deus church.[25] In November 2017, he started a social project to help form young footballers in his home region, which was later registered as a football club named Associação Esportiva VF4 in 2018.[26]
