Felipe Garcia (footballer, born 1988)

Born in São Vicente, São Paulo, Felipe graduated from Santos's prolific youth setup, and was promoted to the main squad in 2006, initially as a third-choice. On 6 September 2006 he made his first team debut, starting in a 1–0 home win against Cruzeiro, for that year's Copa Sudamericana.^[2]

Felipe made his Série A debut four days later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Fortaleza.^[3] On 5 October, in a derby against Corinthians, he replaced Fábio Costa in the sixth minute of the match, after the latter suffered an injury, and was a key unit in his side's 3–0 away win.^[4]

Felipe was included in Brazil's preliminary squad for the Beijing Summer Olympics, but was eventually not included in the final list for that competition by coach Dunga.^{[citation needed]}

Still as a second-choice in the following campaigns, Felipe was loaned to Paraná^[5] and subsequently Portuguesa Santista^[6] before returning to Peixe in May 2009, after another injury from Fábio Costa.^[7] He was made a starter for the rest of the season, appearing in 24 league matches.^{[citation needed]}

Felipe started 2010 as a first-choice, but subsequently lost his spot to another youth graduate, Rafael.^[8] After an altercation with supporters through a social media, he was left out of the squad, and loaned to Avaí^[9] and Náutico,^[10] respectively.

On 3 January 2013 Felipe joined Timbu permanently, signing a two-year deal.^[11] On 1 October he left the club, and moved to Fluminense.^[12]

After being mainly a backup to Diego Cavalieri, Felipe was released in December 2014. On 6 May, of the following year he signed for Portuguesa, in Série C.^[13]
