Ronielson da Silva Barbosa

Remo

Born in Vila Quadros, the rural part of the city of Magalhães Barata, in the state of Pará, Rony began his career with the youth sides of Remo. Released by the club in 2013, his contract was still registered in the BID (CBF's registration system), which led to the club recalling him to play in the 2014 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior; at that time, he was working as a motorcycle courier. Rony was promoted to the first team of Remo after the Copinha, and made his senior debut on 26 March 2024; after coming on as a substitute for Leandrão, he scored the equalizer in a 1–1 Campeonato Paraense home draw against São Francisco-PA. He would feature regularly in the year, scoring two further goals in the 2014 Campeonato Paraense as the club lifted the trophy.

Cruzeiro and loan to Náutico

On 22 April 2015, Rony moved to Cruzeiro on a three-year contract, for a rumoured fee of R$ 321,000. He only featured for the under-20 side, before being loaned out to Náutico on 7 January 2016. Rony established himself as a first-choice at Timbu, and scored 11 goals in the 2016 Série B.

Albirex Niigata

On 9 January 2017, Albirex Niigata announced that they had signed Rony from Cruzeiro, for a fee of around R$ 4 million. He made his debut abroad on 25 February, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, and scored his first goal on 18 March, in a draw at Yokohama F. Marinos for the same scoreline.
