Club career

Born in Torres Vedras, Lisbon District, Firmino played lower league or amateur football until the age of 24. He then took his game to the Angolan Girabola where he remained three years, representing G.D. Interclube, C.R. Caála [2] and Kabuscorp SCP. [3]

Firmino returned to Portugal ahead of the 2015–16 season, signing with Clube Oriental de Lisboa. [4] He made his debut in the LigaPro on 8 August 2015, starting and scoring in the 3–0 away win against U.D. Oliveirense. [5]

Firmino continued to compete in the second division in the following years, with C.F. União, Gil Vicente FC [6] and C.D. Cova da Piedade. During his two-year spell with the latter club he appeared in 79 competitive matches, scored 14 goals and provided 23 assists. [7] On 20 October 2018, he was one of two players on target as his team ousted Portimonense S.C. of the Primeira Liga after defeating the opposition 2–1 in the third round of the Taça de Portugal. [8]

On 30 June 2019, Firmino joined Romanian Liga II side FC Universitatea Cluj. [9] Days before the official announcement of the transfer, the Portuguese press wrongly announced that he had moved to CFR Cluj, their bitter rivals from Cluj-Napoca. [10] He only lasted two months in the country, however, before leaving for G.D. Estoril Praia in the Portuguese second tier on a two-year deal after terminating his contract by mutual consent. [11]

Firmino spent the following years in the Armenian Premier League, with FC Pyunik and FC Ararat-Armenia. [12] While in service of the former, he won the national championship [13] and was voted Player of the Season. [14]
