Club career

Natan was born in Três de Maio, Rio Grande do Sul. After representing Galícia, São Paulo and Vitória as a youth,[1] he joined Grêmio on 19 August 2013, being assigned to the under-20s.[2]

In January 2014 Natan was called up to Grêmio's first team,[3] but was loaned to Anápolis shortly after.[4] He made his debut as a senior with the latter team on 9 February, coming on as a half-time substitute in a 1–1 away draw against Aparecidense.

On 7 April 2014 Natan was loaned to Série C club ASA.[5] He appeared sparingly with the club, and was subsequently released by Grêmio in the end of the year after his contract expired.

On 28 January 2015 Natan signed for Boa Esporte,[6] and made his debut for the club four days later, again from the bench in a 1–2 Campeonato Mineiro loss at URT. On 8 February 2015 he scored his first professional goals, netting a brace in a 2–0 home win against Democrata-GV.[7]

Despite being a regular with the club in Mineirão, Natan failed to make an appearance in Série B. On 30 November 2015, he moved to Portuguesa.[8]
