## Club career

[edit]

Born in Marco de Canaveses, Porto District, Maga joined Vitória de Guimarães' academy at the age of 17.[2] He spent the vast majority of his spell with their reserves, making his debut in the LigaPro on 6 August 2017 in a 3–0 away loss against Varzim SC.[3]

Maga's input for the first team consisted of ten minutes as a substitute for Marcus Edwards, and he closed the 4–1 home win over Leixões S.C. in the first round of the Taça da Liga on 26 July 2021.[4] After being released, he resumed his career in the second division with U.D. Oliveirense[5] and F.C. Penafiel.[6]

Maga scored his first second-tier goal on 11 August 2024, helping hosts Penafiel to come from behind 3–0 and win 4–3 against his former club Oliveirense.[7]
