Rarely used by Inter, Josimar spent time on loan at

Al-Watani and Ponte Preta, establishing himself as a starter with the latter and contributing with three goals in 24 league appearances during their promotion campaign. He scored his first professional goal on 24 October 2008 while still at Fortaleza, netting his team's first in a 2–2 home draw against CRB.[2]

After returning from his loan at Ponte, Josimar renewed his contract with Colorado in December 2011, until 2015.

On 17 December 2015, Josimar signed a permanent deal with Chapecoense, after his contract with Inter expired.[6] He immediately became an undisputed starter at the club.

LaMia Airlines Flight 2933 accident in the Colombian village of Cerro Gordo, La Unión, Antioquia.[7]
