Club career

[edit | edit source]

Brazil

[edit | edit source]

Born in Braga, Minho Province, Portuga started his senior career in Brazil after moving to that country at 8 months of age. He competed solely in the lower leagues or amateur football during his spell there, being part of Grêmio Barueri Futebol's Série B roster in 2012 but failing to appear in any matches.[2]

Portugal

[edit | edit source]

Portuga returned to his homeland midway through 2013–14, signing a short-term contract with Segunda Liga club C.D. Trofense.[3] He made his professional debut on 16 February, starting and being replaced after 61 minutes of the 1–3 home loss against C.D. Aves.[4] He played 18 games in his only full season, which ended in relegation.[5]

For the 2015–16 campaign, Portuga joined third division side AD Oliveirense.

Spain

[edit | edit source]

Portuga moved to Spain in the summer of 2016, representing in quick succession Segunda División B teams CF Rayo Majadahonda,[6] CCD Cerceda,[7] CD Ebro[8] and CD El Ejido.[9] On 30 October 2018, he was sent off midway through the first half of the Copa del Rey tie against Valencia CF at La Romareda, but the La Liga club could only win 2–1 eventually.[10]
