Club career
Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Cá joined Sporting CP's youth system in 2009, aged 16. In the summer of 2012, after concluding his development, he moved to Barcelona in Spain alongside teammate and compatriot Edgar Ié.[2]
In Catalonia, Cá started playing with the B team in the Segunda División. He made his official debut on 31 October 2012, featuring three minutes as a substitute for Javier Espinosa in a 4–1 away win against Huesca.[3]
After taking no part for Barça the following season, Cá was loaned to fellow second-tier side Girona on 24 January 2014.[4] He played only once for his new team, replacing Juanlu for the final 11 minutes of a 6–0 victory over Lugo at the Estadi Montilivi on 16 February.[5]
On 19 August 2015, Cá joined the third Catalan club of his career, being loaned alongside Joel Huertas to Lleida Esportiu from Segunda División B.[6] After appearing in no competitive games during the campaign, his loan was cancelled a month early.[7]
Cá began a trial at Italian Lega Pro side Parma in September 2016,[8] but a potential transfer was eventually scuppered by a knee injury.[9] The following 1 April, he signed with Stumbras in Lithuania's A Lyga.[10]
In August 2018, Cá returned to his country of adoption and joined LigaPro club Cova da Piedade.[11] After only two appearances, he left on 18 November for personal reasons.[12]
International career
Cá represented Portugal at the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, playing three games in an eventual group stage exit.[13][14]
