The following year, he joined CSA, and made his debut for the club on 24 June 2012 by starting and scoring a brace in a 3–1 home win against Vitória da Conquista.[1]

Ronaldo scored four goals in a 5–0 home routing of Feirense on 12 August 2012.[2] On 19 September, after scoring nine goals in nine matches, he signed for Série B side CRB.[3]

Ronaldo made his professional debut on 22 September 2012, coming on as a half-time substitute and scoring his team's first in a 3–2 away loss against São Caetano.[4] He finished the campaign with ten appearances, as his side suffered relegation.

In January 2013 Ronaldo moved to Guarani,[5] on loan from Paraná.[6] On 8 November, after struggling with injuries, he rescinded his contract.[7]

On 13 December 2013, Ronaldo joined Botafogo-SP,[8] but was released shortly after. On 1 August 2014, he signed a short-term deal with Criciúma in Série A, after being previously training with the club.[9]

Ronaldo made his debut in the main category of Brazilian football on 17 August 2014, replacing Serginho in a 2–0 away loss against Grêmio. In September he rescinded his link, and moved to ABC.[10]

After representing Penapolense in 2015 Campeonato Paulista,[11] Ronaldo returned to ABC on 20 April 2015.[12] He appeared regularly for the side, featuring in 23 matches and scoring three goals.

Santos

On 19 December 2015, Ronaldo signed a one-year deal with Santos.[13] Initially assigned to the B-team, he was promoted to the main squad in the following month.[14]

Ronaldo made his debut for Peixe on 6 February 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute and suffering a late penalty in a 2–1 home win against Ituano.[15] On 10 April, again from the bench, he scored the winner in a home success over Audax for the same scoreline;[16] he scored the equalizer against the same team in the first leg of the final, as his side was crowned champions in a 2–1 aggregate win.
