## Career
### Early career

Boldrin played as a junior for Slovan Liberec in the Czech Republic, but spent the first part of his senior career in the lower leagues of native Brazil.

### Concordia Chiajna

In 2014, aged 25, Boldrin was brought to Romanian club Concordia Chiajna by coach Marius Șumudică. He ended the Liga I season with 32 matches and 6 goals, earning interest from better ranked clubs after scoring a double against defending champions Steaua București in May 2015. "The Eagles" finished on the 12th place, narrowly avoiding relegation.

### Astra Giurgiu

During the 2015 summer transfer window, Boldrin signed a contract with FC Astra Giurgiu, rejoining his former Concordia coach Marius Șumudică. On 26 July, he scored his first goal in a 2–1 victory against fellow Liga I team Universitatea Craiova. The following week Boldrin netted a goal in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round's first leg against West Ham United, helping his team obtain a 2–2 away draw at Boleyn Ground. Astra eventually qualified further, and he scored again against AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of the play-off round.
Boldrin, who ended the campaign with 42 matches and seven goals all competitions comprised, helped Astra achieve its first league championship title in their history. He was also a starter in the 2016 Romanian Supercup 1–0 win over CFR Cluj.

### FCSB

On 12 August 2016, FC Steaua București announced the transfer of Boldrin for an undisclosed fee, with the player penning a four-year contract with the club.

### Kayerispor

Fernando joined Kayserispor in 2017. He played 23 matches in his debut season in the Turkish Süper Lig, with Kayserispor avoiding relegation.

### Çaykur Rizespor

After one season with Kayserispor, Boldrin joined Çaykur Rizespor, also in the Turkish Super Lig, on a season-long loan deal.
On 7 August 2019, he joined Çaykur Rizespor on a permanent three-year deal.

## Style of play

Regarded as a good free kick taker with great technical ability, Boldrin operates primarily as a central midfielder and is capable of aiding his team both in attack and defence.
