Club career

edit

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Daniel Cruz began his career at hometown side EC Bahia, initially joining their under-14 side. In April 2021, despite having issues regarding a contract renewal, he received his first call-up to the under-23 team which played in the year's Campeonato Baiano.[1]

Daniel Cruz made his senior debut on 4 April 2021, coming on as a half-time substitute in a 2–1 home win over Atlético de Alagoinhas.[2] It was his only senior appearance for the club, as he was later sent back to the under-20 squad after Bahia could not reach an agreement for his renewal.[3]

On 24 September 2021, Daniel Cruz joined Athletico Paranaense.[4] He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 9 December, replacing Jader late into a 1–1 away draw against Sport Recife.[5]

On 12 April 2022, Daniel Cruz moved on loan to Botafogo, being initially assigned to the B-team.[6]
