Club career
Early career
Born in Henstedt-Ulzburg, Germany while his father Nando was representing Hamburger SV, Pinho joined Bangu's youth setup in 2010, aged already 19. He made his debuts as a senior for the club in the following year's Copa Rio, but suffered a serious knee injury which took him out for six months.[2]
Cabofriense (loan)
In 2013, he was loaned to Cabofriense until the end of the year, but was recalled in September.[3]
Madureira
On 30 April 2014 Pinho was loaned to Madureira until December.[4] In December, he opted not to renew his contract with Bangu,[5] and signed permanently for Madura in the following month.[6]
Braga
On 4 June 2015, after being the second top goalscorer of 2015 Campeonato Carioca, Pinho signed a four-year deal with Primeira Liga side S.C. Braga.[7] He made his debut on the competition on 16 August, starting in a 2–1 home win against C.D. Nacional.
Marítimo
On 29 June 2017, Pinho signed a four-year contract with Marítimo.[8]
Benfica
On 23 June 2021, Pinho joined Benfica on a five-year deal with the club.[9] However, he was quickly ruled out for all the rest of the season after just 3 games (one goal), due to a ruptured cruciate ligament.
Coritiba
On 29 December 2022, Pinho moved from Benfica to Brazilian club Coritiba in a €2,5 million transfer.[10] On 3 January 2024, his contract with Coritiba was terminated by mutual agreement.[11]
Estrela da Amadora
On the same day he left Coritiba, Pinho returned to Portugal, signing a one-and-a-half-year contract with Primeira Liga side Estrela da Amadora.[12]
