Career

edit

Although Rodrigo Broa started his career at Remo, he then played at Pará rivals Paysandu. His best performances for Paysandu happened during the 2005 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A when he formed a midfield featured alongside Marabá and the duo caught the attention of big Brazilian clubs, particularly Flamengo.

In 2006, Rodrigo Broa and Marabá joined Flamengo. Rodrigo signed a four-year contract, and unlike Marabá, even played in a competitive match, having a few chances in the team, but didn't please the coaching staff, losing ground to other players later.

Later in 2006, Rodrigo Broa was loaned to Sport Club do Recife of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B. Although Recife wanted to make his transfer permanent at the end of the loan period, he went back to Flamengo and, without playing, went to Fortaleza, again on loan.

Fulfilled without much success, his contract with Fortaleza until the end of the 2007 season when once again he was loaned, this time to Caxias, in 2008.

In 2009, he returned to Flamengo and lived in expectation of being noticed by the coach Cuca, which did not happen. Rejected by the football department, Rodrigo began to train separately and received a loan proposal from Campinense, who had risen to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B. At the end of the season, Campinense were relegated to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C.

For the 2010 season, the year he would end his contract with Flamengo, Broa left Campinense and signed on loan with Águia de Marabá.
