Club career

Born in Cascais, Lisbon District, Chiquinho spent nearly one decade at the youth system of local Sporting CP. In 2019 he signed with neighbouring G.D. Estoril Praia,[2] making his Liga Portugal 2 debut on 18 January 2020 in a 1–0 home win against Académica de Coimbra where he came on as a 60th-minute substitute.[3][2] He scored his first goal as a professional the following month, in the 4–1 victory over Casa Pia A.C. also at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota.[4]

In the 2020–21 season, Chiquinho played 13 games to help the club return to the Primeira Liga as champions.[5] He made his first appearance in the competition on 7 August 2021, starting a 2–0 away defeat of F.C. Arouca.[6] His first goal came later that month, when he closed the 2–1 home win over C.S. Marítimo.[7]
