Born in Santos, São Paulo, Flávio joined Santos FC's youth setup in 2006, aged ten. Released in 2012, he spent a year at Palmeiras before joining Vitória in 2014.

Flávio was promoted to the main squad in January 2015, after impressing during the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. He made his first team debut on 21 February, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 Campeonato Baiano home win against Colo Colo.

Flávio scored his first senior goal on 29 March 2015, netting his team's third in a 4–2 home win against América-RN, for the year's Copa do Nordeste.[1] He made his Série B debut on 9 May 2015, starting in a 0–2 home loss against Sampaio Corrêa.[2]

Flávio made his Série A debut on 29 May 2016, replacing Leandro Domingues at half-time in a 1–1 home draw against Atlético Mineiro. On 6 January 2017, he was loaned to Ferroviária until the end of the 2017 Campeonato Paulista.[3]

On 31 August 2017, free agent Flávio moved abroad and joined Primeira Liga side Boavista FC,[4] but only managed to appear 27 minutes for the B-team. On 20 December, he returned to his home country and signed for Santo André.[5]
