On 25 May 2021, after scoring nine goals in just 16 matches for Confiança, Bruninho moved to Juventude also on loan.[8] On 17 December, his loan was renewed for a further year.[9]

On 29 July 2022, after being rarely used at Ju during the year, Bruninho was recalled by Atlético, and was immediately loaned to CRB for the remainder of the season.[10] On 2 December, he further extended his link with Galo until 2024 and was loaned to Guarani for the upcoming campaign.[11]
