Club career

Born in Lisbon, Almeida kicked off his career with Odivelas with whom he made first team debut. He made 6 appearances in two seasons, before plying his trade in lower division clubs with União Santiago and Sintrense between 2004 and 2007.

He then joined Real. He failed to make first team impact and hence rejoined Sintrense to get more first team opportunities.
