Career

Bancessi was part of the youth system at Portuguese club Benfica before moving to England in July 2013 to join the academy of Wolverhampton Wanderers.[1] After scoring regularly in the Under-21 Premier League he was selected in several matchday squads at first team level as Wolves won the League One title, but he remained only an unused substitute on those occasions.[2] During the close season he signed a new contract with Wolves that runs until summer 2017 (with the option of a further year).[3]

In October 2014 he was loaned to League Two side Cheltenham Town for a month,[4] for whom he made his professional debut on 11 October 2014 against Shrewsbury,[5] in the first of four appearances for the club.

Bancessi joined Telford United on a one-month loan he made his debut against Gainsborough Trinity wearing the number 7 shirt.

On 12 August 2019 Swiss club FC Rapperswil-Jona announced the signing of Bancessi.[6] Following 40 league appearances for the club, Bancessi was released in February 2022.[7]
