Football career

Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto District, Lopes kickstarted his senior career in Italian amateur football. Returned to his country in 2010, he spent one season apiece in the third division with S.C. Espinho and C.D. Tondela.

In the summer of 2012, Lopes signed with Segunda Liga club C.D. Trofense. He played his first game as a professional on 12 August, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 0–2 away loss against C.D. Aves.[1]

For the 2013–14 campaign, Lopes joined fellow league side S.C. Covilhã. On 19 January 2014, as his contract was about to expire, the 25-year-old moved abroad after agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year deal at CFR Cluj in the Romanian Liga I.[2]

Lopes scored his first top flight goal on 29 September 2014, netting the game's only in a home win over FC Universitatea Cluj.[3]
