Career
= Early career
=Born in Santo Antônio do Sudoeste, Paraná, Dodi joined Grêmio's youth setup in 2008, aged 11. He left the club in the end of 2013, and later moved to Criciúma.
= Criciúma
=After initially appearing for the under-20 side, Dodi made his first team – and Série A – debut for Criciúma on 23 November 2014, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Flamengo, as his side suffered relegation. He scored his first senior goal the following 8 May, netting the opener in a 2–1 Série B away win over Mogi Mirim; it was also his debut in the competition.
Dodi became a regular starter for the club in October 2015, under manager Roberto Cavalo. He became an undisputed first-choice in the following year, and renewed his contract until December 2018 on 4 April of that year. However, he left the club shortly after, and ended his period at Tigre by scoring nine goals in 147 appearances overall.
= Fluminense
=On 19 April 2018, Dodi was announced at Fluminense back in the top tier, on loan until the end of the year and with a buyout clause. He made his debut for the club on 6 May, coming on as a late substitute for Pedro in a 2–1 away win over Vitória.
Despite being mainly a backup option to Richard and Jadson, Dodi signed a permanent contract with Flu on 12 January 2019, agreeing to a deal until the end of 2020. However, he was only a fourth-choice during the entire 2019 campaign, behind Yuri, Allan and Airton.
Dodi profitted from the arrival of Odair Hellmann as manager for the 2020 season, and became a starter. He refused a contract renewal in October of that year, with his agents stating that the offer was "too low", and was separated from the first team squad in November, with Fluminense releasing a note saying that the player's staff already negotiated him with a foreign club.
= Kashiwa Reysol
=On 10 February 2021, Dodi was announced at J1 League side Kashiwa Reysol. He made his debut abroad
on 1 May, replacing Keiya Shiihashi in a 1–0 loss at Vegalta Sendai.
Dodi scored his first goal in Japan on 27 August 2022, netting Kashiwa's first in a 6–3 home loss against FC Tokyo.
