Moldova

[edit]

Accepting an offer from Dacia Chisinau of the Moldovan National Division in 2006, Pina claimed that living conditions were poor there and that he had experienced racism there.[3] In view of this, he participated in the 2007 UEFA Intertoto Cup.[3]

Romania

Linked to SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea of the Romanian Liga II in 2008,[4] the Bissau-Guinean was announced in their list for 2008,[5] but was released that December with Slovakian Tomáš Labun.[6]

Malta

[edit]

Introduced on a short-term contract to Hibernians of the Maltese Premier League in early 2010 through Mawete Júnior, the forward experienced racism as well in Malta,[7] debuting in a 2-4 collapse to Valletta[8] grabbing his first league goal in a 1-0 success over Qormi.[9]

Myanmar

[edit]

Phoned by an agent of an injured footballer to come to the Myanmar National League with Zwekapin United in 2013, he swapped them for Rakhapura United that April[10] as their second foreigner[11] on a contract that lasted until the end of August before becoming a free agent.[10]

Based on the experience, Pina stated that he was surprised how the people were in Myanmar were very religious and were not condescending about it.[10]

England

[edit]

First introduced for Tilbury in a 2–2 stalemate with Romford,[12] the attacker made his first start as Tilbury bettered Chatham Town 1–0.[13]

Dually registering for AFC Totton as well as Blackfield & Langley in winter 2017,[14] the frontman found the net on his debut for Totton as the Stags got the better of Barnstaple Town 3–1,[15] producing a goal again from 30 yards out in a 1–0 triumph over Larkhall Athletic.[16] Meanwhile, at Blackfield & Langley, he picked up an injury that December.[17]
