Club career

Beira-Mar

Born in the town of Esgueira, Aveiro District, Pité joined local S.C. Beira-Mar's youth system in 2005, aged 11. He made his debut with the first team on 27 July 2013, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away loss against Portimonense S.C. in the first round of the Taça da Liga.[2] His maiden appearance in the Segunda Liga took place on 12 August, in a 2–3 home defeat to FC Porto B.[3]

Pité scored his first goal as a senior on 2 October 2013, helping to a 3–2 win at C.D. Santa Clara.[4] He missed only seven matches during the campaign, helping to a 12th-place finish amongst 22 teams.

Porto

On 1 July 2014, Pité signed for FC Porto, being assigned to the reserves also in the second division.[5] He spent two seasons playing for them, split roughly between starting games and coming on as a substitute.

Pité was called up for the first team for their League Cup dead rubber against C.D. Feirense on 27 January 2016, remaining unused by manager José Peseiro in the 2–0 away loss.[6]

Tondela

On 15 July 2016, Pité was loaned to Primeira Liga club C.D. Tondela for the season.[7] He made 15 appearances across all competitions as it finally avoided relegation, scoring once as consolation in a 1–2 home loss to F.C. Arouca on 8 January 2017.[8]

Pité joined on a permanent basis on 7 June 2017, until 2020.[9]

Arouca

Out of work since leaving Tondela, Pité found a new team on 13 January 2021, joining second-tier Arouca on an 18-month deal.[10] He scored his first goals on the final day of the season on 22 May, ensuring a play-off place with two in a 3–1 home victory over G.D. Chaves;[11] three days later he scored the opening goal against Rio Ave F.C. in a 3–0 win in the play-off first leg (5–0 aggregate).[12]

In his top-flight season at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca, Pité was most often a substitute. In that role, he scored an added-time equaliser in a 2–2 draw with Vitória de Guimarães on 18 September 2021.[13]

Mafra

On 9 June 2022, Pité signed a two-year deal to be C.D. Mafra's first signing ahead of the second-division campaign.[14]

International career

On 17 July 2016, Pité was called to the Portugal Olympic squad due to appear in the year's Summer Olympic Games, replacing Nuno Santos.[15] He replaced Porto's Sérgio Oliveira midway through the second half of the group stage opener against Argentina, and scored the final 2–0 in the 84th minute following a blunder from goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli.[16]
