On 14 January 2014 Luiz Felipe was loaned to Duque de Caxias, for five months.[1] After serving another subsequent loan at FC Cascavel, he was released.

On 3 February 2015 Luiz Felipe signed for Paraná, in Série B.[2] He made his professional debut on 8 May, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win against Ceará.[3]

On 27 January 2016, after appearing in 28 matches, Luis Felipe renewed his contract until the end of 2017.[4] Two days later he scored his first senior goals, netting a brace in a 4–1 Paranaense home routing of J. Malucelli.[5]

On 17 February 2016, Santos reached an agreement with Paraná for the transfer of Luiz Felipe, with Peixe paying R$ 1 million for 55% of his federative rights.[6] Two days later, he signed a four-year contract with his new club.[7]

Luiz Felipe made his debut for Peixe on 5 March 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for injured Lucas Veríssimo in a 2–0 home win against rivals Corinthians.[8] He scored his first goal for the club on 28 April, netting the first in a 3–0 Copa do Brasil success against Santos-AP also at the Vila Belmiro.[9]
