Tomás made his professional debut on 1 July 2020 one month after his 18th birthday, as an 81st-minute substitute for Matheus Nunes in a 2–1 Primeira Liga win against Gil Vicente F.C. at home.[3] He scored his first goal on 24 September, the only one of a home victory over Aberdeen in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[4]

Aged 18, Tomás was selected by Portuguese under-21 manager Rui Jorge for his 2021 UEFA European Championship squad.[5] He earned his first cap in the first group stage match, starting in the 1–0 win against Croatia in Koper.[6]
