At the age of 26, Brumado stands tall at 6ft 2in (1.9m), exhibiting an athletic stature, with a bodyweight of 13st 12lb (88kg). Being a forward for FC Midtjylland, his role primarily lies as a striker, adorned in the club's number 74 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, his standing market value hovers around £807,000. In the course of his career, Brumado's professional journey kickstarted at Bahia in the Série A in Brazil in January 2017, marking his debut season with three league appearances.
Brumado managed to up his game in the following season at Bahia, making 14 appearances and scoring a solitary goal. Bursting out of the Brazilian league, he crossed the Atlantic for a striking £2 million fee to join FC Midtjylland in the Danish Superliga in January 2019.
His Scandinavian journey saw him feature in several seasons for FC Midtjylland, where he earned a place in the first team and even notched up a few goals. He managed to score twice in season 2020-2021 and went on to up his tally with eight goals in the 2021-2022 season. His goal-scoring form dipped slightly in the following campaigns, but he continued to secure his place in the squad.
The 2020 calendar year also witnessed a brief spell at Silkeborg in the Danish Superliga. His stint on loan allowed him to make five appearances and net one goal. Following the conclusion of his loan, Brumado returned to FC Midtjylland where his professional journey continued.
In September 2023, another loan beckoned for Brumado as he moved to Hansa Rostock in the 3. Liga in Germany. His German tenure witnessed 23 first appearances on the pitch, scoring four times. However, his stint was a short-lived affair as he returned to FC Midtjylland in June 2024.
Post-Germany, it was the Brazilian shores that attracted Brumado as he made a transition to Coritiba in Série B in July 2024, on loan once again. Upon the completion of his Brazilian saga in July 2025, he returned to Denmark, resuming his influential form at FC Midtjylland, where has indeed been successful in making an impact in the current 2025-2026 season.
Brmado's talents aren't just limited to domestic football as he has also participated in the Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026, for FC Midtjylland. He flaunted his sharp eye for goal-scoring in the matches, notching up four goals from two starts and two substitute appearances. Similarly, his efforts in Europa League 2025 - 2026 from two starts and one substitute appearance have been laudable.
