In 2010, Henrique signed a contract with União São João. In August 2011, he joined Santo André. He made his debut for the club on 21 August, against Joinville, and scored a goal almost a month later, against Brasil de Pelotas.
In September, Henrique left Santo André and joined Cianorte. A year later, he joined Chapecoense. He helped the team to promotion, scoring 5 goals in only 8 matches. In December 2012, he signed a contract with Mogi Mirim. He made his Sapo debut on 20 January 2013, against Ponte Preta. He scored his first goal on the 31st, against Corinthians. On 27 April, he scored a hat-trick in a 6-0 routing against Botafogo-SP.

On 9 September 2013, after only three league appearances for Santos, Henrique signed with Portuguesa. He scored three goals during the season, with Portuguesa being relegated despite finishing in 12th.
Palmeiras
After being the topscorer of Lusa in 2014 Campeonato Paulista, Henrique joined Palmeiras on 28 April 2014, on loan until the end of the year.
Cruzeiro / Vitória de Guimarães
A disappointing spell at Cruzeiro saw Henrique move to Portuguese club Vitória de Guimarães for the 2015/16 season, where he scored 12 goals in 30 games.
Fluminense
On 30 June 2016, Henrique returned to Brazil with Fluminense. The striker scored a penalty in normal time to help secure a 3-3 draw in the final of the 2017 Taça Guanabara, against bitter rivals Flamengo. Fluminense went on to win in the penalty shootout.
Playing for Fluminense, he was the top scorer of Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in 2017, along with Jô (for Corinthians), both with 18 goals. In 2017, he was also the country's isolated top scorer amongst players of the top division, with 32 goals.

Two days later, in the opening game of the 2019 Chinese Super League season, Dourado scored his first goal for Henan in his debut in a 1-1 draw against Dalian Professional, then tragically broke his leg after a foul by Qin Sheng, effectively ended his season after just one game.
On 26 July 2020, Dourado made his comeback by scoring twice in a 4-3 defeat against Jiangsu Suning in the opening game of the 2020 Chinese Super League season.
On 21 August 2022, during a Chinese Super League game between Wuhan Yangtze River and Henan Songshan Longmen, Dourado deliberately knocked referee Ma Ning over after a heated quarrel between the two, and was subsequently sent off for violent conduct. The game finished 2-2. Five days later, the Chinese FA announced a 12-month suspension to Dourado, which was the severest penalty in the history of Chinese Super League.
