Born in Matosinhos, Augusto played youth football for three clubs, including FC Porto from ages 8 to 15. He spent his first five years as a senior in the lower leagues, with F.C. Infesta and G.D. Ribeirão.

Augusto signed for Segunda Liga side Moreirense F.C. in the summer of 2011, making his debut in the competition on 8 January 2012 by coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against C.D. Santa Clara.[2][3] He played 13 games during the season, helping his team to return to the Primeira Liga as runners-up.[4]

Augusto joined US Créteil-Lusitanos from France in 2013, going on to spend three years in Ligue 2.[5] He moved to the Polish Ekstraklasa with Śląsk Wrocław on 24 June 2016,[6] scoring his only goals in top-flight football in victories over KS Cracovia (3–1, at home) and Miedź Legnica (2–0, away), both in the 2018–19 campaign.[7][8]
