Club career
Estoril
Born in Cascais, Lisbon District,[2] Chiquinho spent nearly one decade at the youth system of local Sporting CP. In 2019 he signed with neighbouring G.D. Estoril Praia,[3] making his Liga Portugal 2 debut on 18 January 2020 in a 1–0 home win against Académica de Coimbra where he came on as a 60th-minute substitute.[4][3] He scored his first goal as a professional the following month, in the 4–1 victory over Casa Pia A.C. also at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota.[5]
In the 2020–21 season, Chiquinho played 13 games to help the club return to the Primeira Liga as champions.[6] He made his first appearance in the competition on 7 August 2021, starting a 2–0 away defeat of F.C. Arouca.[7] His first goal came later that month, when he closed the 2–1 home win over C.S. Marítimo.[8]
Wolverhampton Wanderers
On 17 January 2022, Chiquinho joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a three-and-a-half year contract,[9] for a reported fee of £2.9 million that could potentially rise to £4.2 million with add-ons.[10]
International career
Chiquinho made his Portugal under-21 debut on 12 November 2021, replacing Fábio Silva in the second half of the 1–0 win in Cyprus in the 2023 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[11]
