Career

Machado began his career with Red Bull Brasil, signing for Scottish club Inverness Caledonian Thistle in August 2018.[1] He was included in a first-team squad for the first time in March 2019,[2] and made his debut in the 2019–20 season, coming on late in a 3-1 loss to Partick Thistle.[3]

However, due to an issue with the club regarding contract details, after not leaving in the 2019 Summer Transfer Window or the 2019–20 Winter Window, he was released by the club in June 2020 when his contract expired. He subsequently joined Portugal's Primera Liga side, Rio Ave on 1 July 2020.[4]

Machado returned to Scottish football in August 2021, signing for Elgin City.[5] He made his debut for Elgin in a 2–0 away loss to Edinburgh City after being substituted on in the final 20 minutes.
