Club career
Born in Espinho, Santos made his Primeira Liga debut in 2007–08 with Boavista FC, and scored in his last appearance of the season, a 2–1 away loss against Sporting CP.[2] In July 2008, he signed a three-year contract with S.L. Benfica, but was immediately loaned to Boavista, with the northern club now in the Segunda Liga for irregularities.[3]
After appearing regularly for the Porto side, again relegated, Santos was loaned once more for the 2009–10 campaign, joining another team in the second division, newly-promoted A.D. Carregado.[4] Shortly after, he dropped down to the third tier and moved, still on loan, to Atlético Clube de Portugal.[5]
In 2010–11, Santos played with hometown's S.C. Espinho, scoring three goals for an eventual seventh-place finish in division three. For the following season he returned to the second tier, signing with U.D. Oliveirense and helping it reach the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal for the first time ever.[6]
