Club career

Early career

Born in Goianira, Goiás, Moraes began his career at Goiás' youth setup in 2009. He moved to Atlético Goianiense in 2014, but was loaned to local side Bom Jesus [pt] in 2015.

Known as Juninho at that time, he made his senior debut on 5 September 2015, starting in a 1–1 Campeonato Goiano Terceira Divisão home draw against Aparecida. He scored his first goal on 27 September, netting his team's second in a 3–2 away success over Monte Cristo.[1]

Back at Atlético for the 2016 campaign, Moraes extended his contract until 2020 in February.[2] He made his first team debut for the club on 3 February of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jorginho in a 3–0 away win against Trinadade for the Goiano championship.[3]

Flamengo

In May 2016, Moraes moved to Flamengo and was initially assigned to the under-20 squad.[4] He impressed for the under-20s in the 2017 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, and trained regularly with the first team during the campaign, but was only an unused substitute for a few matches.

São Bento (loan)

On 5 January 2018, Moraes was loaned to São Bento until the end of the season.[5] He featured rarely for the club, appearing in four matches before suffering a knee injury in May.[6]

Atlético Goianiense

Moraes returned to Atlético Goianiense in August 2018, on loan until the end of the year.[7] He signed a permanent contract with the club ahead of the 2019 campaign, as his contract with Mengão expired.[8]

A regular starter in the 2019 Goiano, Moraes lost his first-choice status to new signing Nicolas Vichiatto in the 2019 Série B and featured in only four matches.

Loans to Mirassol, Santos and Juventude

On 17 July 2020, Moraes was loaned to Série D side Mirassol until June 2021.[9] He immediately became a starter at his new club, helping in their promotion to the Série C as champions.

On 27 May 2021, Moraes was loaned to Santos until the following April,[10] with a €1 million buyout clause.[11] He featured sparingly for the club, mainly acting as a backup to Felipe Jonatan, and left the side on 14 January 2022 to join Juventude.

2023 season

After sharing the starting spot with William Matheus as Ju suffered relegation, Moraes returned to Atlético for the 2023 season. A regular starter during the 2023 Campeonato Goiano, he reached an agreement with the Public Ministry of Goiás on 9 May 2023, after being included in the 2023 Brazilian football match-fixing scandal;[12] hours later, he was loaned out to Aparecidense.[13]

Moraes' is named after his grandfather, Isaltino, with Onitlasi being his name backwards.[14] On 1 June 2023, after being involved in match-fixing schemes, he was suspended from football for 760 days and charged a R$ 55,000 fine.[15]
