Club career
Born in Braga, Joca had two youth spells with local S.C. Braga, the last one starting at the age of 15. He made his senior debut with their reserves on 9 August 2014, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute in a 0–1 away loss against C.D. Tondela for the Segunda Liga;[1] he went to spend three full seasons with the side, always in that division.
On 11 July 2017, after scoring a career-best 12 goals during the campaign with Braga B,[2] Joca was loaned to Primeira Liga club Tondela.[3] His first game in the competition occurred on 9 September, when he featured one minute in the 2–2 home draw to F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[4]
