Club career

Born in Torres Vedras, Lisbon District, Chico spent five of his formative years at Sporting CP, then competed in the third division until the age of 23, in representation of four clubs. He first appeared in the Segunda Liga in the 2011–12 season with Moreirense FC, starting in all of his league appearances to help the team to return to the Primeira Liga after a seven-year absence.

On 15 July 2013, after a further campaign in division two, with Portimonense SC, [2] Chico signed a contract with Bulgarian club PSFC Chernomorets Burgas after a successful one-week trial. [3] His first top-flight match occurred four days later, when he played the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against PFC Cherno More Varna for the First Professional Football League. [4]

Subsequently, Chico returned to his country's second tier, representing in quick succession C.F. União, [5] C.D. Aves [6] and C.D. Cova da Piedade. [7] In late September 2017 the 29-year-old moved abroad again, joining Czech First League side FC Zbrojovka Brno as a free agent. [8]
