Club career

Born in Esposende, Braga District, Almeida finished his development at Varzim SC. His senior debut occurred in 2013–14, as he scored a career-best seven goals to help G.D. Joane finish fifth in the regular season third division but eventually being relegated. [2]

Almeida then spent two years in the Spanish Segunda División B, with CF Reus Deportiu. [3] In the summer of 2016 he signed with AS Monaco FC, being immediately loaned to C.F. Os Belenenses of Portugal's Primeira Liga. [4] He made his debut in the competition on 27 August, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute in a 1–0 away win against C.D. Tondela. [5] His only goal arrived in his fourth appearance, helping the visitors to a 3–1 away defeat of Sporting CP. [6]

On 31 August 2017, still owned by Monaco, Almeida was loaned to S.C. Braga, being assigned to their reserves in the Segunda Liga. [7] He signed with Xanthi F.C. on loan for the following campaign. [8] He scored his first goal for the Greek club on 17 February 2019 in a 1–1 draw away to Athlitiki Enosi Larissa FC. [9]

Almeida spent the following seasons also abroad, with PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv (winning the Bulgarian Cup in 2019–20 after a penalty shootout defeat of PFC CSKA Sofia, where he converted his attempt) [10] [11] and Royal Antwerp FC (Belgian Pro League). [12] He returned to Bulgaria in January 2023, agreeing to a contract at PFC Ludogorets Razgrad; [13] shortly after arriving, he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, being sidelined for several months.
