[edit] Club career

Edgar started playing professionally as a 16-year old, at Vitória de Setúbal. In 1995, he was snapped by Portuguese giants S.L. Benfica, being regularly used, mainly from the bench. He also served a loan at F.C. Alverca, then its feeder club.

In 1998, Edgar was bought by Real Madrid, but never represented the La Liga powerhouse. He went on to spend the following eight years in the country, almost exclusively with Málaga CF - in 2002-03, he had a six-month loan spell with Getafe CF, then in the second division.

With the Andalusians, he was a heavily-used offensive weapon; having partnered countryman Litos for five seasons, he appeared in more than 200 games in the league alone, helping the side to promotion in his first year.

Edgar then returned to Portugal for 2007-08, in a disastrous campaign with Boavista FC: seven matches for the player, relegation for the club (due to irregularities). He quickly moved abroad again, signing with Cyprus' Alki Larnaca FC.

[edit] International career

Edgar played for Portugal internationally, gaining one cap, against Mozambique, on 19 August 1998.

Subsequently, he had his application to represent Angola rejected on December 2004, because he had already represented one nation at senior level.[1]
