Club career

Oliveira was born in Cabeceiras de Basto, Braga District. In his first season as a senior, 2020–21, he scored nine goals in only 11 matches for S.C. Braga's reserves in the third division.[2]

On 18 January 2021, Oliveira signed a professional contract until 2024.[3] He made his Primeira Liga debut for the first team on 28 February, coming on as a late substitute for Abel Ruiz in a 2–1 away win against C.D. Nacional.[4]

Oliveira scored his first goal in the Portuguese top flight on 25 October 2021, the only in the fixture at Gil Vicente FC.[5] The following month, in the fourth round of the Taça de Portugal, he netted four times in a 6–0 home victory over C.D. Santa Clara; he completed his hat-trick in the first 15 minutes of the game.[6]
