Braga for the 2017–18 Campeonato Nacional de Futebol Feminino season and quickly became an important player for the club.[3]

After short stints in her homeland with Palmeiras and Grêmio, Jana returned to Portuguese football in August 2021, agreeing to join Famalicão.[4] After leaving the latter in 2022, she began the 2023 season nursing an injury,[5] before signing for Botafogo on 3 March.[6]

On 29 January 2024, Santos announced the return of Jana for a third spell.[7]
