Career
Born in Ponto Novo, Bahia, Carlos Henrique began his career with Osvaldo Cruz and made his senior debut in the 2018 Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão. He moved to Atlético Goianiense shortly after, and returned to the under-20 squad.

After starting the 2020 campaign on loan at Anapolina, where he did not feature in any matches, Carlos Henrique returned to Dragão in July of that year, before making his debut for the latter club 25 January 2021, starting in a 5–1 home routing of Sinop for the 2020 Copa Verde. He scored his first senior goal three days later, but in a 5–3 Campeonato Goiano away loss to CRAC.

On 6 August 2021, Carlos Henrique was released by Atlético, and signed a one-year deal with Corinthians twenty days later; he was initially assigned to the under-20s. On 25 November, however, he was loaned to Portuguesa.

After impressing with the under-20s in the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, Carlos Henrique became a regular starter for Lusa in the season, winning the Campeonato Paulista Série A2, but left in October of that year after his contract was not renewed. On 11 December, he agreed to a deal with Grêmio Anápolis.

In April 2023, Carlos Henrique joined Série D side CEOV. On 8 December, he returned to the São Paulo state and signed for Monte Azul, but played only six matches before moving back to Goiás with Trindade the following 22 April.

On 28 June 2024, Carlos Henrique returned to Portuguesa for the Copa Paulista.
