Club career

Born in Viana do Castelo, Santos spent his early career in the third and fourth divisions, reaching the Segunda Liga in 2004 with Varzim SC. Four years later he was signed by another club in that tier, Azores' C.D. Santa Clara, starting in all league games during the season and scoring nine goals, including two braces. [2] [3]

In May 2010, after being again a starter with Santa Clara in the 2009–10 campaign, the 30-year-old Santos signed a two-year contract with Primeira Liga club F.C. Paços de Ferreira. [4] He appeared in 14 matches in his first year, totalling 430 minutes of action and failing to find the net.

Santos retired in 2017 at the age of 37, after spells with C.D. Tondela [5] and Académica de Coimbra. [6]
