Club Career

Born in Sao Jorge d'Oeste, Parana, Tiago graduated from Criciuma's youth setup, but failed to appear in any official matches for the club. In July 2011 he moved to Vila Aurora, appearing sparingly in Serie D.

On 24 August 2011 Tiago joined Caxias. Initially a backup, he appeared in 14 matches during the campaign, scoring two goals.

In January 2013 Tiago signed an 18-month deal with Guarani. Despite being a starter in the year's Campeonato Paulista (which the club finished dead last), he rescinded his link in May, and eventually returned to Caxias.

In August 2014, after impressing with the latter in both Campeonato Gaucho and Serie C, Tiago signed a four-year deal with Serie A side Atletico Mineiro. He made his debut in the competition on 25 October, netting his side's first through a direct free kick in a 3–2 home win against Sport Recife.
