Football career

Early career

Born in Sesimbra, Paixão spent his early career in Portugal and Spain, playing with lowly teams in both countries – his hometown's G.D. Sesimbra, FC Porto B, CF Villanovense, Real Jaén and Benidorm CF.

In the 2006–07 season he scored ten goals for Villanovense, but suffered relegation from Segunda División B, the only level in which he competed in Spain.

Hamilton Academical

Paixão's first taste of professional football came in 2009 as he signed for Scottish Premier League side Hamilton Academical on 6 August, alongside twin brother Marco.[2] He made his league debut for Hamilton on 15 August, against Kilmarnock.[3]

Paixão was released from his contract with Hamilton with immediate effect on 14 April 2011, alongside his brother.[4] He appeared in 61 official games for the Accies, scoring 11 goals.

Tractor Sazi

On 2 August 2011, Paixão signed a one-year contract with Tractor Sazi F.C. in Iran, for an undisclosed fee.[5] In his first season he netted a club-best ten goals in the Pro League, being voted by Goal.com as best player on the team.[6]
