Club career

Early career

Born in Salto, São Paulo, Halter played for local futsal sides aside from playing for the youth categories of Primavera. In 2016, he was invited to join Trieste [pt], but spent a short period at the club before joining Atlético Paranaense.^[1]

Athletico Paranaense

On 15 June 2018, Halter renewed his contract with Atlético until 2021.^[2] He made his first team debut the following 27 January, coming on as a late substitute for Robson Bambu in a 2–0 Campeonato Paranaense away win over Rio Branco-PR.

Halter scored his first senior goal on 10 March 2019, netting his team's fourth in a 8–2 home routing of Toledo.^[3] He made his Série A debut on 19 May, starting in a 2–0 home loss to Corinthians, and further extended his link until 2024 on 12 November.^[4]

Mainly a backup option during the following years, Halters suffered an Achilles tendon rupture in May 2021, being sidelined for the remainder of the year.^[5]

Loan to Goiás

On 18 July 2022, Halter was loaned to fellow top tier Goiás until the end of the year.^[6] After becoming a starter in the last rounds of the year, his loan was extended for a further season in December.^[7]

A regular starter for the Esmeraldino during the 2023 campaign, Halter returned to Athletico in December, after his parent club rejected an offer from Goiás in August.^[8]

Botafogo

On 7 January 2024, Botafogo announced the signing Halter on a four-year deal, for a rumoured fee of US$ 2 million.^[9][10] Initially a starter, he lost his starting spot in June, and fell down the pecking order after the arrivals of Bastos and Adryelson.^[11]
