Silva played his first Primeira Liga match with the main squad on the last day of the 2020–21 season, a 5–1 home win against C.S. Marítimo on 19 May;[3] his appearance came as a reward for his hard work in training,[2] and earned him a champions medal in the process.[3]

Silva was loaned to Varzim S.C. of the Liga Portugal 2 on 26 January 2022, until 30 June.[6] Subsequently returned to the Estádio do FC Vizela, on 12 September 2022 he was sent off for two yellow cards in a 0–1 home defeat to G.D. Estoril Praia, the second for diving in the box.[7]
