## Club career

[edit]

Born in Currais Novos, Rio Grande do Norte,[1] Ignácio represented VOCEM and Itapirense as a youth[2] before making his senior debut with local side Força e Luz in 2017, winning the second division of the Campeonato Potiguar.

On 12 April 2018, after impressing in the year's Potiguar, Ignácio joined Série D side ASSU on loan from Santa Cruz-RN.[3] In July, after his club was knocked out of the competition, he moved to Bahia also on a temporary deal, and was initially assigned to their under-23 team.[4]

Ignácio made his first team – and Série A – debut on 6 October 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute for Eric Ramires in a 2–2 away draw against Grêmio.[5] The following 7 January, he signed a permanent deal until 2022 as the club bought 60% of his economic rights.[6]

On 3 October 2020, after being rarely used, Ignácio was loaned to Série B side CSA until the end of the season.[7] The following 28 May, he moved to Chapecoense also in a temporary deal.[8]
