Club career
Born in Albufeira, Algarve, Paulo spent most of his formative years in the academy of Imortal, finishing his youth career with Portimonense. He made his senior debut in the lower leagues of the Lisbon Football Association, winning the 2018–19 Campeonato de Portugal with Casa Pia. He failed to achieve another promotion from that tier with Real Massamá in the following season, as the league was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
Paulo signed a two-year contract with Sporting CP on 7 June 2020,[3] being assigned to their reserves also in the third division.[4] Third choice at the first team behind Antonio Adán and Luís Maximiano,[5] he played his first match in the Primeira Liga on 19 May 2021 which was the last of the campaign, replacing Maximiano in the 66th minute of the 5–1 home win against Marítimo and thus being eligible for a winners' medal.[6]
On 3 July 2023, Paulo joined Liga Portugal 2 club Mafra as a free agent.[7] In July 2025, after spending the second part of the season in the Liga 3 with Oliveira Hospital, he returned to the top flight on a deal at Alverca.[8]
