Career
[edit]Born in Pirenópolis, Goiás, Hericlis was a youth product of Gama before making his senior debut in 2015. On 13 May 2016, after impressing in the 2016 Copa Verde, he moved to Remo.[2]
In November 2016, Hericlis joined Brasiliense,[3] but failed to make an appearance before moving to Bragantino, where he also did not play. On 27 December 2017, he agreed to a deal with Santa Cruz.[4]
Initially a starter, Hericlis subsequently struggled with injuries at Santa,[5][6] and moved to Retrô on 3 January 2020.[7] On 12 October, he was loaned to ABC until the end of the season.[8]
On 22 February 2021, Hericlis was announced at Salgueiro.[9] On 13 December, after a short spell back at Retrô, he joined Grêmio Anápolis,[10] but also represented Ceilândia and Itumbiara during the 2022 season.
In July 2023, Hericlis moved abroad for the first time in his career and joined Australian National Premier Leagues Victoria 3 side Nunawading City.[11] On 6 January 2024, he returned to his home country and joined Maguary.[12]
On 23 April 2024, Hericlis signed for Cametá.[13] He agreed to a contract with América-PE on 24 August,[14] but served loan stints at Jaguar (helping the club to win the Campeonato Pernambucano Série A2) and back at Maguary;[15] at the latter, he scored five goals in seven matches during the 2025 Campeonato Pernambucano.
On 27 March 2025, Hericlis signed a one-year contract with Portuguesa.[16] On 20 August, however, he returned to América on loan.[17]
On 14 December 2025, Hericlis was announced at Madureira on loan.[18]
