Rodrigo Gomes dos Santos (born 13 October 1993), commonly known as Rodrigão, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Bahia, on loan from Santos, as a striker.
Born in Belmonte, Bahia, Rodrigão joined Democrata-GV in late 2013, after impressing on a trial basis. He made his debut for the club in the following year, in Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II. In March 2015 he moved to Boa Esporte.
Rodrigão made his professional debut on 8 May 2015, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Atlético Goianiense for the Série B championship. On 9 June, after appearing in only five games, he was released.
On 19 June 2015 Rodrigão joined Campinense in Série D. On 12 July he scored a brace in a 2–0 home win against Globo, and added a hat-trick in a 3–1 win against Coruripe on 16 August.
Rodrigão started the 2016 season with a match-winning goal in a 2–1 Campeonato Paraibano home success over CSP on 30 January. He also scored two further hat-tricks in the following month, against Esporte de Patos (7–1 home win) and Imperatriz (3–0 away win).
On 19 March 2016 Rodrigão agreed to a pre-contract with Série A club Santos, with the deal being effective on 1 June. He signed a five-year contract with the club on 30 May, being immediately included in the first team squad.
