Jubal made his Série A debut on 20 April, coming on as a substitute for Neto in a 1–1 home draw against Sport Recife.[6] On 11 June 2015 he was loaned to fellow league team Avaí, until the end of the year.[7]
On 29 January 2016, Jubal rescinded with Santos and moved to Primera Liga side Arouca, with his former club retaining 50% of his federative rights.[8] After being a regular starter, he moved to fellow league team Vitória de Guimarães on 18 August 2017, on a one-year loan deal.[9]
On 2 September 2019, Jubal signed with Vitória de Setúbal.[10]
