Playing career
Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Milhazes began his senior career with lowly Clube Caçadores das Taipas, later joining his hometown club Varzim S.C. (in the Segunda Liga). After appearing scarcely for Boavista F.C. in 2004–05's Primeira Liga, his first top-flight season, he signed with Rio Ave FC, experiencing both relegation and promotion.[2]
Milhazes transferred to Romanian Liga I side FC Politehnica Timișoara in late January 2008, first on loan.[3] After the move was made permanent, he returned to Portugal exactly one year later and signed with Vitória de Guimarães on loan until the end of the campaign, as a replacement for Jacques Momha who left for Turkey;[4] in June 2009, he agreed to a permanent contract.[5]
On 31 July 2010, having appeared rarely for Vitória throughout the league season, Milhazes returned to Rio Ave as a free agent.[6] He finished his career well into his 30s, following spells with two teams in the Super League Greece as well as Varzim.[7]
