Club career
B-SAD
Robinho was born in Lisbon. He started his senior career in amateur football, first with Sporting Clube Linda-a-Velha then SG Sacavenense.[2]
In the summer of 2018, Robinho moved to the Primeira Liga after signing with B-SAD. In his first season, he played only with the under-23 team.[2]
Robinho's debut in the Portuguese top division took place on 15 September 2019, when he came on as a late substitute in a 3–1 away win against C.S. Marítimo.[3] He finished the campaign with 15 appearances and one goal in all competitions,[4] being sent off in the 7–1 league loss at S.C. Braga for dissent.[5][6]
Penafiel
On 12 January 2021, Robinho was loaned to Liga Portugal 2 club F.C. Penafiel until 30 June.[7] Shortly before that deadline, he agreed to a permanent two-year contract.[8]
On 22 October 2023, Robinho scored twice (once from a penalty kick) in a 3–0 home victory over amateurs Santa Maria F.C. in the third round of the Taça de Portugal.[9]
Later career
Robinho remained in the second division for the 2025–26 campaign, joining Académico de Viseu F.C. on a two-year deal;[10] shortly before, he had his contract at Israeli club Hapoel Haifa F.C. cancelled due to the country's political situation.[11]
