He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 216 matches and 18 goals over 11 seasons, representing mainly Nacional (four years).

Club career

A product of hometown F.C. Penafiel's youth system, Amaro was born in the village of Paço de Sousa and spent five professional seasons with the club, three in the Segunda Liga and two in the Primeira Liga. In September 2006 he signed for C.D. Nacional, still playing the first game of the campaign with his previous team; his official debut for the Madeirans came on the 9th, in a 0–1 home loss against Sporting CP. [2]

Amaro finished his debut season in the top division with five goals in 25 appearances, [3] but featured less significantly the following years. [4] For 2009–10, he served a season-long loan at Académica de Coimbra; teammate Miguel Fidalgo also joined the side in a loan deal. [5]

At only three goals, Amaro was crowned Vitória de Setúbal's top scorer in the 2011–12 campaign, notably scoring the game's only goal at home against Sporting [6] as the team again narrowly avoided relegation. [7]
