Career

Born in Santo Ildefonso (Porto), Matos competed in the Portuguese fourth division for the better part of his career, having two spells in the third: in the 1999–2000 season he played with Os Sandinenses, representing G.D. Ribeirão in 2008.

In the 2008–09 campaign, Matos was second-choice with Varzim S.C. in the second level. In the following summer, aged already 30, he signed for Primeira Liga side Vitória F.C. along with nine other players, [1] despite the club's precarious financial situation. [2]

Matos acted as backup in his first season in Setúbal, making his first official appearance on 8 May 2010 in a 1–2 home defeat against already relegated C.F. Os Belenenses. [3] Vitória narrowly managed to avoid the drop.
