Club career
Born in Esposende, Braga District, Almeida finished his development at Varzim SC. His senior debut occurred in 2013–14, as he scored a career-best seven goals to help G.D. Joane finish fifth in the regular season third division but eventually being relegated.
Almeida then spent two years in the Spanish Segunda División B, with CF Reus Deportiu.[1] In the summer of 2016 he signed with AS Monaco FC, being immediately loaned to C.F. Os Belenenses of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.[2] He made his debut in the competition on 27 August, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute in a 1–0 away win against C.D. Tondela;[3] his first and only goal arrived in only his fourth appearance, helping the visitors to a 3–1 away defeat of Sporting CP.[4]
On 31 August 2017, still owned by Monaco, Almeida was loaned to S.C. Braga, being assigned to their reserves in the Segunda Liga.[5] He signed with Xanthi F.C. on loan for the 2018–19 Superleague Greece season.[6] He scored his first goal for Xanthi on 17 February 2019 in a 1–1 draw away to Athlitiki Enosi Larissa FC.[7]
