Club career
Born in Caririaçu, Ceará, Jacaré never played in any youth setup until 2017, when he impressed while playing for an amateur side and subsequently joined Icasa.{{cite web|url=https://www.opovo.com.br/esportes/futebol/times/ceara/2020/03/31/trabalho-na-roca--rapida-ascensao-e-pre-contrato-com-o-ceara---conheca-a-historia-do-atacante-jacare.html|title=Trabalho na roça, rápida ascensão e pré-contrato com o Ceará: conheça a história do atacante Jacaré|trans-title=Work in the farm, quick ascension and pre-contract with Ceará: know the story of forward Jacaré|publisher=O Povo|language=pt-BR|date=31 March 2020|accessdate=25 October 2021}} He made his senior debut with the side on 20 August of that year, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Caucaia, for the 2017 Copa Fares Lopes.
After only one further match, Jacaré was loaned to Fortaleza, where he featured mainly for the under-20 side and played one first team match in the Campeonato Cearense. In April 2019, after returning from loan, he rescinded with his parent club after alleging unpaid wages,{{cite web|url=http://www.gazetadocariri.com/2019/04/sem-vitor-jacare-icasa-segue-reforcando.html|title=Sem Vítor Jacaré, Icasa segue reforçando equipe|trans-title=Without Vítor Jacaré, Icasa keep on bolstering the team|publisher=Gazeta do Cariri|language=pt-BR|date=11 April 2019|accessdate=25 October 2021}} and signed for Caucaia in the following month.{{cite web|url=http://www.gazetadocariri.com/2019/05/apos-saida-polemica-do-icasa-jacare.html|title=Após saída polêmica do Icasa, Jacaré acerta com o Caucaia|trans-title=After controversial departure from Icasa, Jacaré signs with Caucaia|publisher=Gazeta do Cariri|language=pt-BR|date=9 May 2019|accessdate=25 October 2021}}
On 27 February 2020, after helping Caucaia win the Campeonato Cearense Série B and the Copa Fares Lopes, Jacaré signed a pre-contract with Ceará.{{cite web|url=https://www.opovo.com.br/esportes/futebol/times/ceara/2020/02/27/atacante-vitor-jacare--do-caucaia--assina-pre-contrato-com-o-ceara.html|title=Atacante Vítor Jacaré, do Caucaia, assina pré-contrato com o Ceará|trans-title=Forward Vítor Jacaré, from Caucaia, signs pre-contract with Ceará|publisher=O Povo|language=pt-BR|date=27 February 2020|accessdate=25 October 2021}} He was officially announced on 3 June, agreeing to a deal until December 2022.{{cite web|url=https://www.cearasc.com/noticia/vozao-acerta-contratacao-do-atacante-jacare|title=Vozão acerta a contratação do atacante Jacaré|trans-title=Vozão sign forward Jacaré|publisher=Ceará SC|language=pt-BR|date=3 June 2020|accessdate=25 October 2021}}
Jacaré made his Série A debut on 8 August 2020, coming on as a half-time substitute for Rafael Sóbis in a 2–3 away loss against Sport Recife, also scoring his team's second goal of the match.{{cite web|url=https://ge.globo.com/ce/futebol/times/ceara/noticia/atuacoes-do-ceara-cleber-e-jacare-mostram-seguranca-e-marcam-em-estreia-de-pouca-criacao.ghtml|title=Atuações do Ceará: Cléber e Jacaré mostram segurança e marcam em estreia de pouca criação|trans-title=Performances of Ceará: Cléber and Jacaré show security and score in a debut of little creativity|publisher=ge|language=pt-BR|date=8 August 2020|accessdate=25 October 2021}} In March of the following year, he suffered a knee injury which kept him out for eight months.{{cite web|url=https://www.opovo.com.br/esportes/futebol/times/ceara/2021/03/16/jacare-sofre-lesao-e-desfalca-ceara-por-oito-meses.html|title=Jacaré sofre lesão e desfalca Ceará por oito meses|trans-title=Jacaré suffers injury and will be an absence for Ceará for eight months|publisher=O Povo|language=pt-BR|date=16 March 2021|accessdate=25 October 2021}}
