Bernardo Lino Castro Paes Vasconcelos (born 10 June 1979 in Lisbon) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Alki Larnaca F.C. in Cyprus, as a striker.

Football career

Portugal / Holland

Vasconcelos played for three teams early in his career, including the reserves of local - and national - powerhouse S.L. Benfica. In the 2002–03 season, he helped F.C. Alverca return to the top division after one year of absence, scoring once and appearing in less than half of the league's matches.

In January 2004, after solid performances with S.C.U. Torreense in the third level, Vasconcelos moved to the Netherlands and signed with RKC Waalwijk in the Eredivisie, scoring four goals to help the North Brabant side retain its top division status. Subsequently, he returned to his country with U.D. Leiria, for what would be his only Portuguese top flight experience - after only two games (36 minutes), he returned to his previous team in the following transfer window.

Cyprus

Vasconcelos left RKC in the 2005 summer, then played one year in Portugal with G.D. Estoril Praia. Subsequently, he moved to Cyprus and signed for APOP Kinyras FC, scoring at an impressive rate in the second division, and adding 12 in 26 games in his first season in the top level, which he split between APOP and AC Omonia.

Vasconcelos returned to APOP for the 2008–09 season, helping the team win the domestic cup, with the player netting in the semifinals against APOEL FC. Afterwards, he left the club but remained in the Paphos District, signing for AEP Paphos FC.

In the summer of 2010, Vasconcelos joined Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C. in Israel, but he returned to former side AEP in January of the following year. He scored seven goals in only 14 appearances, but his team eventually suffered top division relegation.

In June 2011, Vasconcelos signed for Alki Larnaca FC.
