Career
Famalicão
Born in Braga to former Porto and Braga Brazilian player Pena, Pablo joined Famalicão's youth system at the age of 15, following an unsuccessful trial in his father's homeland with Fluminense.[2][3][4] In July 2021, after having made his senior debut with the club's under-23 team, he signed a professional contract until 2024.[5]
Pablo made his Primeira Liga debut with the main squad debut on 8 August 2021, coming on as a 60th-minute substitute in a 2–0 away loss against Paços de Ferreira.[6] On 15 September 2022, he further extended his link until 2027.[7] He scored his first goal in the competition the following 22 April, closing the 3–2 home win over Marítimo in the 98th minute.[8]
On 12 January 2024, Famalicão sent Pablo on loan to Liga Portugal 2 side Paços Ferreira until the end of the season.[9]
Gil Vicente
In September, also on loan, Pablo moved to Gil Vicente of the top division.[10] On 1 April 2025, he scored a ten-minute hat-trick in a 3–1 away defeat of bottom-placed Boavista.[11]
Pablo signed a permanent four-year contract with Gil Vicente on 23 June 2025.[12] During a brief second spell, he consistently ranked amongst the league's top scorers, and spoke of his desire to represent the Portugal national team;[13][14] he was voted Player of the Month as well as Best Forward and Best Young Player for September/October, collecting 26,14% of the managers' votes.[15]
West Ham United
On 2 January 2026, Pablo signed for Premier League club West Ham United on a four-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be €25 million.[16][17] He made his league debut four days later, as a 63rd-minute substitute in a 2–1 home loss against relegation rivals Nottingham Forest.[18]
