Heitor Rodrigues da Fonseca (born 5 November 2000), simply known as Heitor, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as right back for Mirassol, on loan from Internacional.[1]

Career

Internacional

Born in Morro Redondo, Rio Grande do Sul,[2] Heitor joined Internacional's youth categories in 2017, from hometown side Progresso FC.[3] On 3 April 2019, after impressing with the under-20 side in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he renewed his contract with the club.[4] He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 14 July, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Athletico Paranaense.[5][2]

On 10 December 2019, after finishing the year as a first-choice, Heitor renewed his contract with Inter until December 2022.[6] He scored his first senior goal on 8 February 2020, netting the opener in a 2–0 Campeonato Gaúcho home win over Novo Hamburgo,[7] but subsequently lost his starting spot during the campaign, after the arrivals of Renzo Saravia and Rodinei.

Heitor returned to starting spot in 2021, after Rodinei left and Saravia suffered a knee injury. On 10 March of that year, he was elected one of the 11 best under-20 players on South America for 2020 by IFFHS.[8]

On 18 January 2022, Heitor renewed his contract with Internacional for a further year.[9] On 22 June, despite losing his starting spot to Fabricio Bustos, he further extended his link for another six months.[10]

Loan to Cercle Brugge

On 23 July 2022, Heitor joined Cercle Brugge in Belgium on loan, with an option to buy.[11] He made his debut abroad on 7 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for Robbe Decostere in a 2–0 away loss against Standard Liège, but only featured in six more matches (all as a substitute) before leaving.[12]

Loan to Ferroviária

On 29 December 2022, Heitor was announced at Ferroviária on loan for the 2023 Campeonato Paulista.[13] A starter in the competition, he scored once in ten appearances as AFE suffered relegation.

Loan to Mirassol

On 4 April 2023, Heitor moved to Série B side Mirassol also in a temporary deal.[14]
