Career

Ruan Oliveira made his professional debut for Metropolitano during the 2018 Campeonato Catarinense Série B, before signing with Corinthians' youth squad after the 2019 Campeonato Catarinense.[4]

He made his senior debut for Sport Club Corinthians Paulista in a 2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A away match against Atlético Mineiro on 13 August 2020.[5] He played in four matches, before suffering a season ending knee injury on 1 September.[6] Ruan suffered an additional knee injury as he resumed training with Corinthians, and extended his contract until June 2023 while he recovered.[7]

Ruan returned to action on 10 June 2023, after being nearly three years sidelined; replacing Guilherme Biro, he scored the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Cuiabá.[8] He would feature regularly under head coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, but lost space under Mano Menezes.

On 7 December 2023, Ruan suffered another knee injury, with his contract with Corinthians having to be renewed until his recovery.[9]
