Born in Simão Dias, Sergipe, Rogério started playing futsal as a joke, but ended up catching the attention of some scouts. In 1991 he was invited to become a professional by EC Banespa, and remained in São Paulo until 1992. In 1993 he returned to his home state when he thought about abandoning his career, but returned to the courts with the Santa Cruz futsal team, which he defended from 1994 to 1997. Also played for Atlético Mineiro, Ulbra Canoas and Krona/Joinville.[1][2]
After retiring professionally in 2009, he still defended some municipal teams in the Copa TV Sergipe de Futsal (affiliated with Grupo Globo), being champion for the cities of Moita Bonita, Itaporanga d'Ajuda and Lagarto.[3]
